Great wisdom lies between the pages. She does not hold back and it is refreshing to reflect how she has continued life long community with her colleagues.

Gail is a phenomenally gifted and wise woman who has "been there, done that" as far as all things ministry go. This book is a must read for any woman who finds herself in a place of ministry in a church, especially pastor's wives.

Gail is full of wisdom and grace. Her life is one I want to model mine after. Her partnership with her husband is to be admired and celebrated. This book holds many keys to their longevity and effectiveness in ministry together.

A phenomenal book; one I will likely read over and over. Excellent bibliography as well, including many books I will be looking for in future months.

This is one of my all time favourite books for any woman in ministry. I've read it several times and its so helpful and honest esp. if you value relationships.

The best book on being a pastor's wife. I underlined so much in this book. I will read again this book in the future, and have learned and can continue to learn so much!

[Amber · Rating 5 out of 5]

A little tough going for me in the beginning since I feel myself to be different from the author in terms of personality. As the book went on though I so appreciated the thoughts and convictions she shared. Definitely earned its 5 stars and will keep it around to reference, even if everything didn’t line joe perfectly for me.

A must-read for ministry wives of all kinds. So many issues covered in these pages that will give wisdom, encouragement and hope to those in these positions (whether willingly or not).

[Kelli · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is told with such a genuine heart, that you know its dearly earned wisdom coming out thru the pages.
