Ministry is hard, and ministry wives are often in need of encouragement. All too often, a woman marries a man-not his ministry-and yet her husband's calling infringes upon many aspects of their life together. What if ministry life isn't what they bargained for? What happens when their children aren't perfect? How do they deal with church gossip, or even slander? As a pastor's wife of almost 50 years, Jani Ortlund addresses these questions along with many others as she offers encouragement and guidance to ministry wives, reminding them that God works out his delightfully good purposes in and through their sacrifice.
