This has been a very timely read for me. My husband has preached for over 35 years and we've been through the ups and downs as so many other couples... The book is encouraging and has given me new resolve as we are looking at "where" to go for his next work. At this time in our lives we have 9 precious grandchildren that we've been blessed with that will be very hard to potentially put a great distance between them and us but I am reminded that the POINT is to choose the place that we can be most effective in our work for the Lord, regardless of geographic location. I DO believe that this work is the best work in the world and wouldn't want to do anything else. We are a team in this and the joy of teaching others and studying privately w/them and witnessing their growth in love and knowledge of our Lord is reward above all else.
In "Just Get A Ham", Carrie Marrs reveals the inner joys and struggles which can accompany the preacher and his family. Her experience, inside the fishbowl, is wonderful and an encouragement to those who are wives to the preacher, as well as those who love them. Her wit and love for the Lord are evident on every page. She draws from her own experiences, as well as those from several preacher's wives who have walked the walk, and have survived it and even found the joy and beauty that comes from living life where it seems you are always in the spotlight. A must read for every woman who chooses to be the wife of the preacher.
