Female Pastors and Pastors' Wives Valrie V Cole

In the 21st century, the challenges that come with undertaking the role of a female pastor or as a pastor's wife cannot be denied or ignored. Christian women of different ethnic, social, economic and doctrinal backgrounds, who function in any of these two roles, represent two categories of persons who are more vulnerable to getting emotionally wounded in their front- line ministry positions. Hence, both female pastors and pastors' wives share the similar needs- to learn how to cope with unrealistic and conflicting expectations and demands, as well as the subtle and/ or overt resistance and rejection from persons, both inside and outside of their church community. This book is a vital resource material, providing useful Biblical insights and principles, helpful hints, and encouragement, particularly to female pastors and pastors wives who need to better understand how to fulfil the call of God confidently, purposefully, powerfully, courageously, and joyfully.
