Even though she wrote this with the Church Planting Wife in mind, it really fits anyone who is in ministry. The struggles, hurts, issues and situations are across the board. She lays out practical ways to get through and grow deeper in your relationship with the eternal Father

MMM05 Stars Out Of 5Wonderful gospel centered readJanuary 31, 2013MMM0Quality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This gospel centered read encouraged me to rely on God's promises and Word to guide me through the difficult decisions we are face about our future. This book really simplified my prayers and thinking towards our future. I am so thankful. I would recommend this read to anybody that feels that they are being lead in a direction that seems really difficult or out of their comfort zone. I am really thankful for this read and will look back at it, especially to the "Cultivating You Heart" section.

TinaBothell, WAAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5The BEST book I've read for ministry encouragementJanuary 30, 2013TinaBothell, WAAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Biblically solid. Riveting. Poignant. Honest. Convicting. Warm. Insightful. Incredibly encouraging... Christine selflessly and effectively exposes her own heart for the sake of the hearts of her readers. What a gift! She doesn't just theorize about how to best live a called-out life, she has learned it first hand and breaks it down very practically.
As a church planting wife of almost 5 years I found myself on almost every page, as if I were reading my own journals. So refreshing! Yet, the wisdom in it's pages speaks to any woman seeking to live a godly life. If you are not a church planting wife, please do not dismiss this book.
A couple of noteworthy aspects:
1. Interviews with various other church planting wives give even more perspective to certain topics.
2. The "Cultivating Your Heart" section at the end of each chapter encourages reflection and further Bible reading around the particular chapter's theme.
Are you excited about your call to ministry? Read this book. Are you weary or discouraged in ministry? Read this book. Have you felt lonely, fearful, stressed? Have you been wounded by people in the church? Are you uncertain about your roles or struggle with priorities? Do you wonder how to better encourage your spouse? Do you long to live a more free and authentic life in the Lord? Do you want to better understand a friend who is in the ministry? Read. This. Book. -
DebbyNHAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Highly recommended for all women serving the LordFebruary 4, 2013DebbyNHAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5My husband answered a call to a church plant 32 years ago.
We are still serving together in the same church experiencing many of the same highs and lows described in Christine's book. I would highly recommend this book for every woman. There is heart-searching challenge as well as encouragement for those who minister. There is insight into the heart of the women in leadership of our local churches. God used this book to give me new inspiration as I continue to serve Him alongside my husband. -
LPowell3rdErial, New JerseyAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5From the Wife of a Future PlanterFebruary 2, 2013LPowell3rdErial, New JerseyAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Christine's book was like a riveting slap in the face for me. My husband (and I) are called into church planting and while I rejected the calling on my husbands' life for awhile now, Christine's realism has helped me grasp that rejecting the calling on my husband's life was the same as rejecting God or saying I didn't trust Him to lead and guide us every step of the way. This book is a much needed resource in the ministry world and I thank God for allowing me to stumble across Christine's blog and her book.
I HIGHLY recommend this book to ministry wives, Christian women and especially church planting wives. It is overflowing with wisdom and insight!
