Product Description

The book deals with a range of topics commonly encountered by pastor's wives. In the form of 17 informal letters, seasoned pastor's wives provide counsel on topics for women entering the field of ministry as the wife of a newly ordained pastor.

These women are predominantly the wives of well known preachers from the reformed tradition.
