Shattering the Glass Walls of the Woman in Ministry, Author Publishes First Book Encouraging the Pastor’s Wife

Virginia Beach, VA, November 07, 2008 --(PR.com)-- After 22 years as a pastor’s wife author publishes first book to encourage and support the woman in ministry and wife of the pastor.

Rev. Turnbull seized the opportunity to write what had been in her heart for years, when her husband took time out from being a senior pastor, to attend seminary to earn his Doctor of Ministry Degree. The book was written with the busy life of a woman in ministry in mind. It is a short 110 page book divided into 10 chapters for easy reading. Each chapter offers challenging questions and encourages the woman to meet with other women in ministry, developing a support group.

Comments regarding the book: “I wish this would have been around when I first started in ministry,” “This is going to cross denominational walls.”

Keeping the woman in ministry in mind, Rev. Turnbull purposefully kept the book short and easy to read. The woman will be able to read through it quickly, but will find she wants to pause and contemplate what she just read.

Rev. Turnbull says, “When I first began ministry as the wife of a youth pastor, I needed something like this, but couldn’t find it. Women of this generation want to know ‘our story,’ they desire to learn and be taught. Yes, we can learn by the ‘school of hard knocks;’ but why not help them learn by encouraging and supporting them? That is the purpose of this book; to be a resource of support and encouragement.”

The book can be ordered online at www.lulu.com/cherylturnbull.
