Item Description...
This revised edition confronts the unique challenges facing pastors' wives with a combination of serious advice and humor and a good balance of scriptural basis, personal illustration, honesty, and sincerity.
Lorna Dobson knows firsthand the struggles and joys of being married to a pastor---and the questions, not the least of which is, "What is a 'pastor's wife,' anyway?" As her poll of hundreds of women reveals, the wife of a minister is rarely the piano-playing, committee-leading stereotype.
With humor, disarming genuineness, personal stories, and wisdom rooted in Scripture, Dobson cuts through the labels. "How I live has little to do with whether my husband is a pastor; rather, my life reflects my growth, or lack of it, as a Christian." In this revised edition of I'm More Than the Pastor's Wife, she includes new perspectives as a grandparent, soon-to-be empty-nester, and speaker.
Here are frontline insights on
*Making friends and cultivating personal support outside the church
*Learning to handle expectations and pressures
*Balancing time and using your gifts
*Supporting your husband and growing closer to him
*Prioritizing prayer for your husband, family, and church
*Knowing your capabilities and limits
*Dealing with "problem people" and church conflicts
. . . and much more!

 | Couldn't Put It Down Jul 10, 2005 |
At first, I really didn't like this book, but I found I couldn't put it down. The more I read, the more I appreciated it. Now I recommend it to all of my seminary wife friends who are married to future pastors. The author shares so much practical experience , I appreciated her desire to share her viewpoint on her role as a pastor's wife.
Some of my favorite parts: "Sorting the Laundry" Mrs. Dobson states, "Working through the responsibilities and commitments of our lives determine who and what comes first is a little like sorting the laundry: you wash the whites and colors seperately, but when you dress, you combine the colors with whites." And also, "No person is pain -free or trouble-free. If we were we could not be effective ministers." And finally, she shares and amazing section on "Caring for My Body" - I appreciate the new insights she shares on caring for the Physical well-being of our bodies (the vessels God uses for His work) with a biblical perspective!! | | | | inside look and humorous Apr 7, 2000 |
| This book was revealing in the sense that I had no idea how congregations demand things of the clergy. L. Dobson is humorous in her writing and appears to have an intelligent attitude to being a pastors wife. The many anecdotes are as funny as most pulpiteers. | | | Write your own review about Im More Than The Pastors Wife
