Author: Christine Hoover
Publisher: Moody Publishers

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
"Nothing in my life goes untouched by my husband’s calling." Christine Hoover’s words in the first chapter describe so well the life of a church planter’s wife, which is enormously difficult yet extraordinarily rewarding. To be married to a church planter is a calling of its own with a richness of its own. In The Church Planting Wife, Hoover explores and encourages the hearts of her readers while teaching what it means to have heart prepared for this unique ministry. She knows the challenges: A church planter's wife must develop a job description, be a wise helper to her husband, develop friendships within the church and community, deal with stress and discouragement, handle wounds, and more. Christine speaks candidly about these challenges while urging readers to grow a heart that wholly reflects Jesus. Spread throughout these pages are stories and interviews from church planting wives. Christine Hoover empathetically and pointedly builds from these testimonies to uplift the reader and offer lessons of hope in the midst of a challenging ministry.

Pages : 148
Book Description
The position of pastor’s wife presents itself as a unique role. For the African American Pastor’s wife, this role takes on an even more interesting dynamic, considering the cultural back drop of the population many pastor’s wives serve. A hermeneutic phenomenological research study was conducted to understand the phenomena of helper among African American pastor’s wives who serve alongside their husbands in ministry, particularly in pastoral care and counseling. The study included a total of seven African American Pastors’ wives from the state of Texas. The pastors’ wives participated in structured interviews that were extensive in nature. Answering thirty-six questions with more than half being open-ended, the African American pastors’ wives in the study described their helping experiences serving alongside their husbands in ministry. The results of the study revealed that the concept of helper was deeply ingrained in the service of the majority of these women. Their helping and serving nature was facilitated by their desire to meet any potential need encountered in ministry. Their helping and serving revolved around a sense of being called by God to be a servant. Their driving force was found in their commitment to be a helpmate and the love they had for God, their husband’s, their congregation, and their church. The study’s results could be used to inform senior pastors and congregations on the need to verbalize and exemplify appreciation and celebration for the under-sung service of the pastor’s wife. The results of the study could also be a catalyst for the facilitation of financial provisions for resources that would assist the African American pastor’s wife in effectively helping and serving in the African American church.
