The Preacher Takes A Wife (better call the prayer chain)

If you’ve ever tried to hold your life together with coffee and a whole lot of figuring it out as you go, you already know—somewhere between the casserole and the chaos, things don’t always go as planned.
From packing moving vans to church kitchens, we sometimes step into a life we never would have chosen… only to find it slowly becoming one we wouldn’t trade for the world.
I didn’t see this life coming. I went kicking and screaming all the way. But somewhere along the way, between the mess and the meaning, it became mine.
In The Preacher Takes a Wife: Better Call the Prayer Chain, Sherry Palmer shares a collection of stories that are as honest as they are funny. With warmth, wit, and a storyteller’s eye for everyday grace, she writes about newlywed expectations, learning to love church life, and the beautifully imperfect moments that hold it all together.
These are the stories that make you laugh out loud one minute and nod your head the next—because you’ve been there. Or you’re there right now.
Perfect for book clubs and women’s groups, this book offers more than stories. Inside, you’ll find potluck recipes worth bringing back, a discussion guide to keep the conversation going, and a few extra things to talk about along the way.
Because sometimes the best kind of comfort is realizing… you’re not the only one.
