{"product_id":"faith-to-follow-kate-meadows-9781664205796","title":"Faith to Follow: The Journey of Becoming a Pastor's Wife","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile her husband pursued a four-year Master of Divinity degree from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Kate Meadows wondered how she fit into the process of her husband becoming a pastor. In the Lutheran Church- Missouri Synod, only men can be ordained as pastors. The men who come to the seminary have a well paved road ahead of them. The women who come with those men don't. As women, we ask ourselves, \"Who am I in this process?\" and \"Where do I fit?\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKate never envisioned herself as a pastor's wife; in fact, she wasn't sure she wanted to be one. Yet, if God was leading her husband into the ministry, who was she to say \"No?\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnd what was it about that term \"pastor's wife,\" that made her uneasy, anyway? What did it even mean to be a pastor's wife in the modern day?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt the seminary, Kate started talking to other women who had faithfully followed their husbands on the path to ministry. Through a series of more than fifty interviews, she learned that the journey of becoming a pastor's wife is rich with questions, discovery, and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFaith to Follow\u003c\/em\u003e chronicles the woman's experience of preparing to become a pastor's wife. It also may be a springboard for dialogue within churches across America, about the importance of encouraging and cultivating future church leaders and raising up strong families in the Christian faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate Meadows\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1664205799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781664205796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e WestBow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.55d","brand":"Kate Meadows","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991019880703,"sku":"9781664205796","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a61090cc-ecf7-407d-97d1-f535bd60d98b.jpg?v=1683307981","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/faith-to-follow-kate-meadows-9781664205796","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
