My sincere hope is that every person in an abusive relationship will get out, and that the abuser will be changed by realizing the pain and suffering they cause. When I prayed that God would allow me to marry a preacher, somewhere in my mind I thought it would guarantee me a life of love, peace, and happiness. Nothing was further from the truth. After all, preachers are men too, clothed in nice suits, shoes, and fancy robes. All my life, I had been around marriages that should have ended years ago. I wanted to be different; I wanted to help people change. I wanted to see men love and cherish their wives. We all know for the most part at least on the surface that preachers' wives seem to be more than happy. Some wear the designer suits and hats with fancy matching shoes. On occasion, I did too. However, I soon found out, at least in my life, it was all superficial. I was all smiles and encouraging words outside the door, but most days, behind closed doors, my life was a living hell. Three months into my marriage, I began living in a nightmare. I told myself I would never tell anyone. I would help the world believe we had the ideal marriage. Even before the I-do's, I knew there were some problems. Before long Shirley became a "preacher's wife with a secret life," and everything in her told her that she's not the only one!

When Pastor Matthew Winkler was found dead at his Fourth Street Church of Christ parsonage in Selmer, Tennessee, both police investigators and parishioners were shaken and mystified: How could evil strike this cradle of faith? Meanwhile, Mrs. Winkler and her three daughters were still missing... A frantic search for Mary Winkler and the girls ensued. Once they were found, on a beach in Alabama, Mary was charged with murdering her husband in cold blood. But why did Mary pull the trigger? What sexual and psychological abuses did she allege she had suffered? In the months that followed, the crime—and the Winkler's marriage—would be exposed by the national media; Mary herself even appeared on Oprah. Set in a world of domineering men, obedient wives, and unshakable faith, this is the true story about what happened to Matthew Winkler and THE PASTOR'S WIFE

My continued story is dedicated to every woman still "suffering in silence" because of the title attached to their name (First Lady, Evangelist, Missionary, Dr., etc.). To every woman suffering because of the title her husband wears ( Pastor, Teacher, Judge, Lawyer, Doctor, Police Officer, etc.). I pray God gives you the strength, courage, boldness, and the peace to arise from the ashes of domestic abuse. It is my prayer that God gives you the wisdom to break out of the bondage that keeps you tied to an abusive relationship, and that you allow Him to restore you into the woman of God He has called you to be.God still has a great plan for your life. Open your heart completely to Him and trust Him. He will never fail you. God has already created you. Therefore, your title, status, and income bracket does not make you. It is a stamp of fraud if you too are living a secret life beyond the public eye.May God's truth touch your heart with power, healing, and deliverance expediently so that above everything else, you desire to do His will and to be free, healed, and whole in, Jesus' name.

What’s it like when the man you married is already married to God? asks Pastors’ Wives, an often surprising yet always emotionally true first novel set in a world most of us know only from the outside. Lisa Takeuchi Cullen’s debut novel Pastors’ Wives follows three women whose lives converge and intertwine at a Southern evangelical megachurch. Ruthie follows her Wall Street husband from New York to Magnolia, a fictional suburb of Atlanta, when he hears a calling to serve at a megachurch called Greenleaf. Reeling from the death of her mother, Ruthie suffers a crisis of faith—in God, in her marriage, and in herself. Candace is Greenleaf’s “First Lady,” a force of nature who’ll stop at nothing to protect her church and her superstar husband. Ginger, married to Candace’s son, struggles to play dutiful wife and mother while burying her calamitous past. All their roads collide in one chaotic event that exposes their true selves. Inspired by Cullen’s reporting as a staff writer for Time magazine, Pastors’ Wives is a dramatic portrayal of the private lives of pastors’ wives, caught between the demands of faith, marriage, duty, and love.

Were you meant to do something important in life? The answer to that question will always be YES! But let's be honest, there are times when we all feel unimportant ~ even worthless. Do you ever see yourself as unworthy of the good things that come to others? Do you ever wonder why you feel unequal to a task, or why everything seems to look better in the past or more hopeful in the future? In my case, it had to do with secrets; secrets I'd kept for fear my world would fall apart. Those secrets loomed in the shadows ready to destroy my married life, and every aspect of it, at the slightest provocation. This hidden reality made my past seem brighter and my future an untouchable haze. I was bound to a life of silence, blame and the fear of open shame, even though these secrets were not mine.The possibility of relief from this awful existence was remote.

The definitive biography of Susannah Spurgeon. While many Christians recognize the name of Charles H. Spurgeon, the beloved preacher and writer, few are familiar with the life and legacy of his wife, Susie. Yet Susannah Spurgeon was an accomplished and devout woman of God who had a tremendous ministry in her own right, as well as in support of her husband. Even while dealing with serious health issues, she administered a book fund for poor pastors, edited and published her husband’s sermons and other writings, led a pastor’s aid ministry, wrote five books, made her home a hub of hospitality, and was instrumental in planting a church. And as her own writing attests, she was also a warm, charming, and fascinating woman. Now, for the first time, Susie brings this vibrant woman’s story to modern readers. Ray Rhodes Jr. examines Susannah’s life, showing that she was not only the wife of London’s most famous preacher, but also a woman who gave all she had in grateful service to the Lord. Susie is an inspiring and encouraging account of a truly remarkable woman of faith that will delight Spurgeon devotees and fans of Christian biographies alike. “I am writing in my husband’s study, where he thought, and prayed, and wrote. Every inch of the place is sacred ground. Everything remains precisely as he left it. His books (now my most precious possessions), stand in shining rows upon the shelves, in exactly the order in which he placed them, and one might almost fancy the room was ready and waiting for its master. But oh! That empty chair! That great portrait over the door! The strange, solemn silence, which pervades the place now that he is no longer on earth! I kneel sometimes by his chair, and laying my head on the cushioned arms, which so long supported his dear form, I pour out my grief before the Lord, and tell Him again that though I am left alone, yet I know that ‘He hath done all things well’…”

In the year 2002 after a brief tragedy, the Lord inspired me to write this book about my life as a pastor’s wife. In no way has this book been written to bash or to discredit anyone, mainly my husband. After getting his consent, we both felt that this book would help many of those who are married and in ministry with marital problems. We believe that instead of saving our reputations it would be more feasible to save a marriage. Because we are not afraid to share our lives with the public. Either it’s gotten better or it has gotten worse, and for us we embrace the words “Stronger, better, and still together”. Through it all, God has strengthened me to become a woman of great strength and because of the suffering I found my security in Christ Jesus to be my everyday dependancy. I thank God, my husband and children, and church family for their prayers and support throughout the duration of writing this book about our lives. So please don’t judge me, pray for me that I would continue to be the woman of God, Wife, and mother that God will be pleased with.
