How to Thrive as a Pastor's Wife

Christian Living

“Christine helps us navigate the complex role to which we have been called. I, too, am not the ‘typical’ pastor’s wife and never fit the stereotype. She is the friend I wish I had in my early years to help me avoid unhealthy pitfalls and embrace the unique gifts God gave me to serve the body of Christ out of joy and passion instead of duty. Let this book from a seasoned pastor’s wife encourage you as she gives words to your insecurities and struggles and guides you through to full engagement with God’s Word and purpose. In Christ, you are uniquely gifted and equipped—embrace the call, celebrate the privilege!”

Why I Still Believe

Apologetics

“I am grateful for Mary Jo’s friendship and her willingness to tackle tough questions and wrestle them through to a biblical solution. I also know, after having grown up in the church and having been a pastor’s wife for almost four decades, that the church is not perfect. But the church is the bride of Christ, and he is perfecting her and getting her ready for his return. Join Mary Jo as she journeys through the pain of imperfect people to the only perfect one—Jesus Christ! I too still believe!”
