Books
A few days after an ordinary Valentine’s Day, Cindy Beall’s life changed forever. She listened with disbelief to her husband, Chris, a respected pastor, confess to pornography addiction, numerous affairs, and the startling news that a woman was pregnant with his child.
With raw honesty and intimate knowledge of pain and of God’s power to resurrect something new out of the debris of betrayal, Cindy reveals how to:
- seek guidance, counseling, and prayer support when deceptions surface
- help the family heal from the grief and humiliation
- rebuild trust after porn, sex, and other addictions undermine a relationship
- protect a marriage from lies and unfaithfulness
- rely on God to pursue forgiveness and move forward in new promises
Cindy’s compassion, grasp of God’s Word, and the Bealls’ remarkable story will help wives and husbands trust God with their broken hearts and follow His leading, hope, and redemption.
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. You will feel an instant sisterhood with Lisa, a senior pastor’s wife happily serving in the trenches. In You Can Still Wear Cute Shoes: And Other Great Advice from an Unlikely Preacher’s Wife
In Our Shoes is an 8-topic study for personal enrichment or a guide to build discussion and interactions with a group of ministers’ wives. It includes tips for navigating transitions to new churches, leader guidance for 8 group sessions, a group covenant, and ideas and recipes for entertaining at the drop of a hat.One size fits all doesn’t translate for shoes-and it doesn’t for ministers’ wives either. If you serve in ministry you’ve encountered many Bible studies, full of truth but lacking the life issues that wives in ministry face. This study was designed and written by ministers’ wives who know just what it’s like to walk in your shoes.
