Jul 05, Donna rated it liked it. Slightly dated but good book if you have never hosted people in your home or had a larger dinner party. Some of it is common sense but if you don't know it; it is in this book. Also some inside tips and traps of minister's wives that could keep you from trouble.

Sep 24, Rebekah Schrepfer rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites. I enjoy Dorothy Patterson. Her contributions to the complementarian view of womanhood have been invaluable! Her advice for home life is quite detailed. Perhaps she was just trying to throw out there as many ideas as possible, but I would be overwhelmed if I enjoy Dorothy Patterson. Perhaps she was just trying to throw out there as many ideas as possible, but I would be overwhelmed if I tried everything she suggests.

I felt a little defensive for my own way of conducting home life. For example, she is very structured with her child rearing, and I am not so much.

She even devotes a couple of pages to the process of naming your children. However, the reminders of the point of each exercise and habit and tradition was good. Her Victorian style and suggestions would not work so well in our neck if the woods, and so her belaboring the point was annoying to me.

I think Mrs. It is a handbook after all, though. So if I ever need to know the protocol for entertaining formally in our home, I have the book to turn to. I think a lot of her suggestions on gifts and recipes and hospitality ideas could be substituted by using Pinterest these days.

Most of the reminders of propriety and appropriateness seemed obvious to me, but I grew up in a ministry family. A wife who never has been around such things may truly need these things spelled out.

And to be honest I need improvement in some of these areas too. Appropriateness and graciousness is becoming a lost art. Some sections are written to congregations as admonitions and suggestions in regards to their pastor and his family. I appreciated her addressing the unique challenges of living in a parsonage.

The was a good section on resignations and terminations. She tactfully discusses difficult ministry hurts. Just to know that it has happened before to others and the varying degrees of severity, was soothing and helpful to me. I loved her answering of dilemmas and philosophical questions. I want to yield personal rights in exchange for God-given privileges. I want to commit my life to begin my ministry for the Lord in my home, focusing on meeting the needs of my household. I want to renew my efforts to be a helper to my preacher-husband in his God-assigned task.

I want to expect great things from my preacher-husband and attempt great things with him. I will gladly spend and be spent in all I do for God as the wife of a preacher p. She is not simply to consider her gifts and training and make her own choices. Rather, He gives you a road map in Scripture with the fixed boundaries and general guidelines and lots of crossroads with choices to be made. Fortunately, however, He also furnishes a guidance system for finding and redirecting you when you get lost along the way.

The Holy Spirit is on call twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and He always knows your location and the proper destination. If you let Him, He will get you there! View Details.
