Behind Every Good Man: Candid Thoughts for Preacher's Wives and Those Who Love Them

A preacher's wife carries a role no one trains her for. Here, the women who've lived it speak candidly.

Behind Every Good Man: Candid Thoughts for Preachers' Wives and Those Who Love Them is a collection edited by Joyce Jamerson.

How This Book Helps

Preachers' wives face unique expectations, often in a fishbowl, and many have few people to talk to about it. Churches don't always understand what these women carry.

In thirteen chapters, experienced preachers' wives write about the home, appearance, speech, hospitality, personal leadership, soul winning, prayer, Bible study, and finding encouragement. It's the companion book to Behind the Preacher's Door.

What's Inside

Written by Joyce Jamerson, Joanne Beckley, Becky Allen, Cindy DeBerry, Julie Roberts, Dena Roberts, Betty Tope, Julie Adams, Karen Dewhirst, Cheryl Robertson, Lydia Casey, and Dana Burk, with special sections by Bobbie Miller, Barbara Adams, and Mrs. Irven Lee.

Thirteen chapters in a 200-page, 6 x 9 perfect-bound book.

Who It's For
