The role of the pastor's wife is constantly being redefined. No longer can she be put in a box and labeled with a fairy tale perception created by others. This book will reveal those fairy tales, how to overcome them and provide biblical applications to being fulfilled and effective in the ever changing and challenging position of "The Pastor's Wife." In some ministries, she is the Assistant Pastor or the Co-Pastor. In others she is the head of the Women's Ministry or the Music Department. Some pastor's wives are less visible but equally powerful because of the tremendous influence they have with the pastor, which can ultimately affect the climate of the church. That power can be used for good or it can be used maliciously. It is important that she realizes her worth to the Body of Christ. Her husband also must recognize it as well as the members of the church. If he does not value her privately, it will be visible publicly and the marriage and ministry will suffer. If they have children, the pressure on them can be tremendous. The notion that the pastor's children should be near perfect is one of the biggest fairy tales. More often than not, they feel like they are living in a fishbowl on display for the church and the world to throw rocks at them. It is my hope that this book will provide some insight into the woman behind the smile. She has been uniquely chosen by God to stand in a place of responsibility, leadership and trust. She has enough on her plate at home and at church without having to fight against opinions about what people think her role should be. I call them Fairy Tales! If you are a church member reading this book, you will find out things you always wanted to know about your pastor's wife (but were afraid to ask). You may even learn how to deal with a difficult pastor's wife. If you ARE the pastor's wife, there is information here about working with difficult members. Finally, and most important, you will learn that as a pastor's wife, you don't have to be perfect. There is, of course, no such thing as a "perfect pastor's wife," but there is a Perfect One that dwells within her. As you read, remember how much God loves you in spite of your imperfection. To Him be all Glory and Splendid Honor!
