MINISTRY IS A CHALLENGING VOCATION, EVEN IN THE BEST OF TIMES. WHILE THE PASTOR OR YOUTH MINISTER IS THE PUBLIC FACE OF HIS CHURCH, THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE WHO PLAYS A VITAL SUPPORTING ROLE BEHIND THE SCENES - A ROLE THAT CAN BE CENTRAL TO ITS SUCCESS OR STRUGGLES. BEING THE WIFE OF A PASTOR OR YOUTH MINISTER CAN BE TREMENDOUSLY REWARDING, BUT IT IS ALSO A COMMITMENT OF TIME, PERSONAL INVESTMENT, AND PATIENCE. JEANA FLOYD PROVIDES A CLEAR, CONCISE, AND HONEST VIEW OF THIS LIFE. WITH INTERACTIVE TESTIMONIES INCLUDED FROM VARIOUS PASTORS' WIVES AT THE END OF EACH CHAPTER, THE BOOK SHARES POIGNANT AND POWERFUL INSIGHTS ANY WOMAN OR WIFE CAN APPRECIATE.

This volume follows the format of the author's best-selling 1001 Things to Do with Your Kids, which has been translated into Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, and Hungarian. The activities are numbered from 1 to 1001. For example, activity 323 is:
CUSTOM SPORTS GIFT. When there's a golfer in the family, let kids customize golf balls as a special occasion gift. Purchase a package of balls and a bag of tees. Next, cover a work surface with newspaper and decorate the balls with permanent marking pens, adding names, pictures, and short encouraging lines. Then, go to work on the tees, adding colorful stripes to them.

Age Ideas are given for: toddlers through teens. (see also #291925)

Hi girls! Take a few minutes from your day to get inspired about God. Think about the amazing things He has done in this world through the lives of great Christians. If you have five minutes, you have enough time to connect with your heavenly Father through Scripture, prayer and some wonderful real-life adventures.

As believers, our journey is just as important as the destination. And because relationships are essential to our walk through life, it is vital that we partner with people who positively impact our world.

Dr. Leonard Sweet believes these essential people are found in the pages of God's Word. Using eleven classic figures from the Bible, Dr. Sweet details key personal attributes that make up God's Dream Team for your life. Readers of all ages will be encouraged to not only seek out such people, but to find their place with those around them.
