You Can Still Wear Cute Shoes: And Other Great Advice from an Unlikely Preacher's Wife
Ebook
Overview
When most women think of a pastor’s wife, certain images come to mind: either a woman who’s so holy she doesn’t seem human, or someone sentenced to a life without fun, fashion, or friends. Lisa McKay’s You Can Still Wear Cute Shoes is an utterly honest, charmingly-witty, and biblically insightful guide for every minister’s wife who wants to serve the church and support her husband without losing herself along the way.
You will feel an instant sisterhood with Lisa, a senior pastor’s wife happily serving in the trenches. She understands the challenges of a life lived before a congregation, from finding friends and coping with criticism, to saying goodbye to a church family and starting all over again.
This book is a must-have resource for every woman who wants to do the “ministry wife thing” well. Through Lisa’s engaging style and fresh perspective, you will be encouraged to fully embrace being married to the ministry!
