THE MINISTER’S WIFE
Privileges, pressures and pitfalls
By Ann Benton and friends. Inter Varsity Press. 199 pages. £8.99

With the help of other experienced women, Ann Benton here sets out to ‘inform, prepare and inspire’ that unusual breed of woman known as ‘the minister’s wife’.
I have to say that I was a little reluctant to read this book, as I thought I would be smothered with advice and left feeling a little peeved at the obvious flaws that I have as a minister’s wife. However, I found myself drawn in by the funky cover, and discovered an absorbing, rich mixture of instruction and relevant, lively comment on what it is to be a minister’s wife.
