If you are a deacon’s wife, this is the book you’ve been awaiting. When your church ordains deacons, this will be a great gift book to encourage new or experienced deacon wives.
As a long-time pastor’s wife, serving in a small, medium and large church, I’ve observed first-hand the important value of deacons and their wives. As a denominational leader’s wife, I’ve watched hundreds more, and I’ve come to an important conclusion: deacons and deacon wives radically impact a church’s harmony, its ministry, its effectiveness and its growth. When a church selects a man to serve in the role of deacon, his wife naturally has unique opportunities to serve alongside him.
Deacon Wives provides fresh ideas for those important leaders. It will challenge them to a new level of commitment and joy. The book is chock-full of suggestions and practical tips for ministering to church members, growing as a Christian, and prioritizing God’s work within a busy life. It emphasizes the Biblical mandate for wives in 1 Timothy 3:11, and demonstrates the seriousness of words, attitudes and actions. And as a bonus, a detailed teaching plan for an enjoyable six-week study for deacon wives is included in the postlude.
I’m absolutely convinced that the wife of a deacon can make a difference—in her family, her church, her community—in eternity!
Can’t wait to see it in print! dd
