Being a pastor’s wife is not the easiest job in the world, but, with a little guidance and a lot of prayer, it can be the most fulfilling calling one could possibly imagine.

In “The Pastor’s Wife: Chosen and Blessed” (Courier Publishing, 118 pages, $14.95), June M. Gardner shares her story of what it was like to serve God, her pastor-husband, her children and a series of churches in five states over a span of nearly seven decades, all while protecting the ones she loved (and sometimes herself) from the pitfalls that sometimes threaten to derail a public calling to ministry.

Infused with wisdom and timeless advice, Gardner’s book is an instructive and illuminating read for anyone “chosen and blessed” to be the wife of a minister.

Gardner is the author of 14 previous books, including “The Preacher Man: When the Robe Didn’t Fit,” “’Til Death Do Us Part” and “The Gold at New Prospect.” She lives in South Carolina but will soon be moving to Florida to be near her sons and their families.
