Every pastor's wife is a faithful servant and leader in her own
right. She has great influence on her church, her community, her
family, and her husband, and she finds joy in seeing God move in
the lives of others. Yet she also faces unique challenges that too
often go unnoticed and unaddressed. At times, a pastor's wife may
feel she can't talk about her struggles even with those who are
closest to her, which can leave her feeling alone, depleted, and
misunderstood. She may settle for this way of living, but that's
not God's desire for her. Christine Hoover knows firsthand the
unique struggles and opportunities afforded a pastor's wife--she's
been filling that role for more than 20 years. Coming alongside as
an understanding friend, she offers encouragement and guidance to
the struggling pastor's wife, showing her how to make meaningful
personal relationships with God, her husband, her children, her
church community, and other women--relationships that will sustain
her and help her thrive.
Women long for deep and lasting friendships but often find them
challenging to make. The private angst they feel regarding
friendship often translates into their own insecurity and
isolation. Christine Hoover offers women a fresh, biblical vision
for friendship that allows for the messiness of our lives and the
realities of our schedules. She shows women - what's holding them
back from developing satisfying friendships - how to make and
deepen friendships - how to overcome insecurity, self-imposed
isolation, and past hurts - how to embrace the people God has
already placed in their lives as potential friends - and how to
revel in the beauty and joy of everyday friendship With stories of
real friendships and guidance drawn from Scripture, Hoover
encourages women to intentionally and purposefully invest in one of
the most rewarding relationships God has given us.
Our hearts are made for unswaying allegiance to a king and a
kingdom, a concept that Jesus talked about more than any other. Yet
every day, the false kings of anxiety, approval, comfort, image,
escape, power, accumulations, self-sufficiency, supremacy, and
shame plot to reign over our hearts instead. Their lies about the
true king are so subtle and insidious that we rarely recognize
them, and we go on living with divided loyalties that stall our
spiritual growth, infect our relationships, and hinder our witness.
If you want to find freedom from the forces vying for your heart,
let Christine Hoover equip you for the fight. In this approachable
yet provocative book, she helps you root out your own misplaced
allegiances so that you can live wholly as a subject of the king
who made and redeemed you.
Many women feel as if they do not do enough and are not enough.
They're always trying hard to be good: a good friend, mom, wife,
Christian, employee, or ministry leader, hoping for that
"atta-girl" from God. With compelling illustrations from her own
life, Christine Hoover leads readers to the understanding that
they're living by a lesser gospel, the gospel of goodness, one
without Christ's grace. Relying on Scripture, they can start
asking, "What does God want for me?" before asking, "What does God
want from me?" Women will breathe a sigh of relief at this powerful
message of freedom and hope. Rather than serving God out of
obligation or duty, they'll be compelled to love and serve God with
great joy.
Jen Oshman casts a vision for women to reject the idols of our age
and find real hope in Jesus, embracing their identity in Christ and
recovering his design and purpose for their lives.
The Bible says that God makes all things beautiful in their time, but when we look around today we see a broken and marred world. Our reality is so often the "not beautiful" that it's hard to trust that God can make our mess into something good. So how do we live with hope for a future redemption of all things?
In Searching for Spring, Christine Hoover takes readers on a treasure hunt for beauty in both familiar and unexpected places. Framed by the changing seasons, this journey will heighten readers' senses and awaken their affections for the creator of it all. For all who are in the midst of suffering, who find their faith withering, who are questioning whether God is at work--or even present--as they wait for something in their lives to become beautiful, this book will be a welcome reminder that God never stops his redemptive work and that there is a time for everything under heaven.
