The Pastor's Wife

Like most pastors' wives, Gloria Furman has found herself shouldering the burden of unrealistic expectations.

'Who am I? What am I? Am I supposed to be playing some sort of role? If so, where did I put that script?' she asks.

But, she argues, our identity as a woman, a wife or a pastor's wife must come second to our primary reference point: that of being found in Christ. With honesty and humour, and a truly fascinating window into the Middle East where she lives, Gloria helps us to love the Chief Shepherd and his under-shepherd, to love the church and look forward to the return of Christ.
