10 Things Every Minister's Wife Needs to Know by Jeana Floyd

I have been a pastor's wife for 12 years now and know the value of a godly wife in her husband's ministry. He needs the love and support only his wife can provide. When that support is lacking, I've seen many a pastor and church suffer.
Jeana Floyd's book, 10 Things Every Minister's Wife Needs to Know,
addresses 10 vital areas in which a pastor's wife needs understanding and wisdom in order to assist her husband in the service of the church, community and family. A few of those areas include:
*Love the Man You Married which deals with how we felt when we first married our husbands and how to recapture some of the initial glow, enthusiam, and compassion we showered on our husbands early in our marriage. Renewing our passion for him and extending compassion can go a long way in overcoming the difficulties both in ministry and marriage.
* It's KOOL2BAPK: addresses children of pastors and our role as a pastor's wife in encouraging our children to love God and the church despite what they may see and hear growing up as Pastor's Kids. Jeana addressed the issue of feeling inadequate to talk on parenting while her children were growing as she felt the "jury was still out" so to speak until her children were grown. I completely understand where she is coming from with this and appreciated her handling of the topic.
*along with other chapters dealing with: The "Secret" to Survival, Remember Who You Are, It Ain't That Hard, Balance is the Key, Let the Men be the Men, Let It Go: Dealing with Criticism, Conflict, and Unforgiveness, Relationships Matter, Learn From the Past, Live in the Present, and Trust God for the Future--All timely topics Pastor's wives deal with on an ongoing basis.
I would highly recommend this book for the new wife in ministry or one who is struggling.
