This book had as many or more pages about making sure the woman reading it had turned her life over to Christ than it did how to be a Christian doctor's wife. That is not what I was looking for with this book at all. My husband is already a fellow, and the advice she did give seemed super basic, we are way past that. This book wld better be titled something about being a new resident's wife. Oh well.

I really enjoyed this book. My husband is just starting his residency, and this book had a lot of solid wisdom and practical advice on how to support and love my husband as a doctor, while keeping God's glory the central focus. This is a book I could see myself reading again down the road, or referring back to during more challenging seasons. I would definitely recommend this book.

Good book if you're looking for a bible study guide, but I was hoping for something with a lot more practical, modern day info.
