Patricia Cummings' response to her husband's call into the ministry was basically, Me, a minister's wife! What is God thinking? She says that she knew it was going to be hard, but she didn't know how hard. Through his years as a solo pastor at the Pebble Creek Community Church in Goodyear, Arizona, she learned ways to meet this challenge, which she openly shares in this book. She admits that her main problem was being a people pleaser, and so she searched for ways to practice being a God-pleaser instead. This book contains suggestions on: Honing your hospitality and etiquette skills Money management Support systems Setting personal boundaries Making time for fun Handling unrealistic expectations How to say no! Assessing giftedness and preferences. . . . . .and much more. Each chapter ends with a suggested prayer or exercise. It is obvious that the writer has a heart for pastors' wives. She has written a book aimed at helping women with this calling to learn how best to care for themselves - body, mind and spirit.

The Three Pastors is a story about three young men and a woman whose names are Charles Monroe, Henry Phillips, Thomas Moore and Nicky Taylor. Charles and Henry are best friends who are finishing up their senior year in high school and they are both looking forward to graduating and then going off to college. They get jobs working after school at the local mall, where Charles meets and befriends a man named Thomas who convinces Charles to quit working at the mall and to work for him. The problem is that Thomas isn't who Charles really thinks that he is. Thomas offers Charles a way for him to get the things that he desires in life by luring Charles into his dark and shady world involving lies, deception, money, drugs, prostitution, sex and corruption. Thomas starts off by giving Charles a brand new BMW. Charles then begins to work for Thomas and he tells his best friend Henry all about Thomas while showing him the BMW that Thomas gave him. Right away Henry knows that Charles is headed for big trouble and Henry tries to help Charles before it is too late and Charles ends up going to prison, or even worse, getting killed. Henry sets his plan into action to meet Thomas and get close to him, even if it means going to work for him so that he can get the evidence that he needs to give to the police so that they will arrest Thomas and send him to prison and get him out of Charles' life. But it won't be easy. While Henry is working undercover he discovers a whole string of shady things that are going on. He and Charles meet two call girls, one of which is Thomas' main woman and the other one who is showing a lot of interest in Charles but is really an undercover cop named Nicky Taylor. She has some issues as well as an agenda of her own, which includes her using Charles and Henry in order to help her to bust Thomas. What is supposed to be a drug drop turns out to really be a set up by someone higher up. Who will live and who will die? Only three of them lived and became Pastors who are preaching and teaching the word of God. All three are married with families of their own. All three are living proof that God is real and that He can save, heal and deliver you from out of the darkness of this world.

This is a book skilled in construction of the narrative. Combined within its pages are apt illustrations, patent sincerity, and biblical truth. Of particular interest is the chapter that deals with the ministry of the church, where the author deals with the doctrine of reconciliation. This book is a good read and recommended to everyone interested in a biblically based ecclesiology. Bob Compton (deceased pastor of Beaver Dam Baptist Church) Dr. Randy White's passion for calling the church to renewal of her God-given mission and purpose shines clearly from the pages of this book. He confronts readers with the biblical picture of the church functioning as Christ intended and contrasts that with the picture of the church as often encountered in the 21st century. Dr. White calls for repentance and return to a vibrant church that is empowered by the Holy Spirit and actively involved in evangelism. M. Lynn Sasser, D. Min.

One day while reminiscing about those wonderful days, they decided to go back there one more time.

This is a book about everyday life. The people in the book are just your regular run of the mill family; at least they like to think so. You be the judge. Many people spend a lot of money for entertainment; in this case the family is the entertainment. All people make mistakes; that is what makes them human. All people are not necessarily able to laugh at their mistakes, but in this family they do and it is a good thing because they make plenty of mistakes. Though the family has endured hard times due to illness or loss and continues to do so, they are still able to enjoy life and to share this joy within the family unit, as well as within the small communities of Brookston and Culver, Minnesota. Even though, the author tends to be sarcastic about the life she lives in Brookston, there is no doubt that she loves her hometown and she has found a small piece of Heaven on Earth. The people mentioned in this book are all people who have touched the author's life in some way, mostly through humor and have helped make her into who she is today. All the stories told are the way the author remembers each event.

Have you ever wondered if there was more to being a Christian than what you have experienced in your Christian life? Do you want to learn how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become a more sensitive person and how to become one's own true self? The Road to Spiritual Maturity gently guides you through the hard and often painful process of change toward a higher level of self-understanding. It is the road that leads to being fully alive and responsible for one's actions, and developing one's full potential as created by God. Leaders are not made by seminary degrees. They're shaped through a relational transfer of knowledge, experience, and the work of the Holy Spirit into a deeper understanding of God and the human family. No one can be effective in Ministry today without the skills and attitudes associated with listening, conversation and spiritual maturity. The Road to Spiritual Maturity, is a deeply personal and challenging book; one that can cause another to think about their own spiritual walk; a walk down the road that leads to more than activities and programs, more than bows to those who applaud, more than the slap on the back for a job well-done. It is a walk that will bring the reader to a place where the Spirit of God is at work while exploring the very nature of loving relationships. It is my wish that this book will lead the reader toward a new serenity and fullness of life. Amen! Grow in grace & knowledge of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 3:18)
