GREAT Book for a pastors wife in training!

Bought this book to use with a friend whose husband has just started Bible college to be a pastor. It's written in a way that makes the reader feel that she is sitting on the author's couch listening to her tell her stories. I highly recommend it!

Gave to my wife

I bought this book early in my ministry, and gave it to my wife. We/she has since bought this for many young wives as they enter into ministry. It has since impacted many.

Couldn't Put It Down

At first, I really didn't like this book, but I found I couldn't put it down. The more I read, the more I appreciated it. Now I recommend it to all of my seminary wife friends who are married to future pastors. The author shares so much practical experience , I appreciated her desire to share her viewpoint on her role as a pastor's wife. Some of my favorite parts: "Sorting the Laundry" Mrs. Dobson states, "Working through the responsibilities and commitments of our lives determine who and what comes first is a little like sorting the laundry: you wash the whites and colors seperately, but when you dress, you combine the colors with whites." And also, "No person is pain -free or trouble-free. If we were we could not be effective ministers." And finally, she shares and amazing section on "Caring for My Body" - I appreciate the new insights she shares on caring for the Physical well-being of our bodies (the vessels God uses for His work) with a biblical perspective!!

inside look and humorous

This book was revealing in the sense that I had no idea how congregations demand things of the clergy. L. Dobson is humorous in her writing and appears to have an intelligent attitude to being a pastors wife. The many anecdotes are as funny as most pulpiteers.
