Bloom Where You're Planted is about God's glory revealed in women who answer that call in a uniquely fearsome way. It is about pastor's wives, more specifically, it is the story of leaders who step out in faith, and leaving everything solid and secure behind them, partner with their husbands in planting new churches.
Blooming where you are planted is one of the most difficult things any woman can do. Being uprooted from all you hold dear can take it's toll. But if you are blooming, you are thriving. You are beautiful to behold wherever you have been planted.
If you have been called on this difficult journey, remember above all else, you are not alone And I don't just mean that Jesus is with you always. I mean there are women today doing what you are doing and thriving. Never forget that a great cloud of witnesses has gone before you over the ages. Women who have bloomed on the mission field, in the New World, on the prairie, out West, across the seas, in Rome. We are the lucky ones, we live in a time when communication and encouragement between other women walking this same journey is easy.
This book is about the journey of a church planting wife, a pastor's wife. A woman who chooses to bring beauty and peace to those around her, by blooming recklessly where God has planted her.

The First Parish Church of Scituate, Massachusetts was gathered in 1634 but the history of the congregation begins in London in 1616. Henry Jacob, a Puritan dissenter, believed the Church of England had not reformed from the Catholic church enough and that people should form churches of their own like the first Christian churches. Jacob gathered a congregation in the Southwark borough of London in 1616, the first Independent (non-conformist) congregation in England. His successor, the Rev. John Lothrop, led the illegal congregation and for that he, along with a number of congregants, was jailed in the notorious prison, the Clink. Upon his release from prison Lothrop left for New England with some members of the Southwark congregation and settled in Scituate. First Parish in Scituate has a long, rich and surprising history. Rev. Lothrop is the ancestor to some of the most prominent American families such as the Roosevelts, the Bushes, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Georgia O'Keefe and Benjamin Spock. Two of its early ministers were presidents of Harvard College. One minister's daughter was involved in a love triangle with Henry David Thoreau and his brother, John. Another minister later became a gold miner; another, a pacifist, paid the price for the rest of his life; still another was a Shakespearean troubadour for a time. The history of First Parish is a story of a small congregation continuing over the course of over 375 years despite schisms, financial struggles and a devastating fire. It has continued to serve the town of Scituate due to the hard work of its women, men and children through the years. The Unitarian Universalist History and Heritage Society gave its first Congregational History prize to Richard M. Stower for A History of the First Parish Church of Scituate, Massachusetts citing it as a remarkably comprehensive study of a 379-year-old congregation that sheds important new light on every age of Puritan, Unitarian, and Unitarian Universalist History.
