Читать книгу The Ecstasy and Agony - Hester Z. Philbert - Страница 4

Probably it's providence. I have refrained from writing being the one to write the forward to this book since Hester has been my friend and wife for more than twenty six years. Much of the experiences and details in this book are developed through the over twenty three years of ministry we have had together.

The book details the confidence God bestows on one who understands that ministry is not just a calling for men but for the wife of the minister. Hester details with confidence the pain and the agony that wives go through as a minister's wife. She lists the unexpected challenges as well as the unexpected ideals one is called to portray even when feelings and social conditions calls for something else.

Notwithstanding, she details and recommends that a relationship with God can undergird all feelings and keep one going in spite of the challenges. Most reasonable, open minded persons learn, grow, and profit from new perspectives and interpretations of major historical events. Hester has learned from twenty three years on ministry, moving over ten times through the life of over twenty different congregations.

This fascinating book is illuminating and somewhat shocking but also faith confirming in God's timing and providence.

I long discovered, as you will in this significant book, that we are all members of God's family.
