Bots Mama ,

Great interview!

Aug 15 Kay Warren Pastor's Wives was so relevant to me as a minister, Pastor's wife and Missionary of 30 years. Finish the book and throw out the lifeline to all of us out here! And what great tools you gave to the church. I hope they too, will listen and take to heart this sound advice. To preserve the Pastor's family rather than to tear it apart-and how to preserve it well is the greatest gift and benefit the Pastor's family can receive!
