Finally.
The chance to win the book! Lisa even autographed it for you. And I even autographed my quote for you. Kidding. I'm only kidding. I totally didn't sign it...although I may have smiley faced it.
I really do love this book. I know I've told you that already. There's just a few more things I want to share about it before you enter to win.
- I cried in chapter one (p. 26) I love their story, and their call to ministry, because it has God's handwriting all over it. You see Him do the seemingly impossible, and can't help but say to yourself, Yep God, only You...
- I did the most underlining in Chapter 2, which bears the same title as the book. In particular, she speaks of being winsome. And frankly, it's something all women need to hear. Couple quotes:
- People are much more likely to overlook faults when mutual love undergirds the relationship. And, in order for people to love you, you need to present yourself as lovable. (p. 53)
Girls, people need to like being around you! (p. 52)Amen.Good stuff. Practical, useful stuff. Hurts so good kind of stuff.Alright. I'll let you enter now. Just leave me a comment to get yourself entered. I tried to think of something clever to have you comment about, but apparently I haven't had enough coffee yet...I'll randomly pick a winner on Wednesday.If you're not a blogger, please leave me an email address so I can reach you if you win!

It sounds like a great book! I am not a pastor's wife, but my husband is the worship leader of our church. I also am a pastor's daughter. Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI REALLY want this book!! Can't you just close the giveaway & give it to me? I won't tell anybody.

ReplyDeleteI love what God is teaching you through this book. Even though Bill is not currently in an official position, I still consider myself a "Pastor's Wife" & would love to win the book! If I don't win, I will still probably get the book to read!
ReplyDeleteI also nominate Heth and Sharon B. so if you want to throw their names in the hat, they deserve it!!
I'm really wanting to read this book!

You can smiley face my book anytime! My sister is new to the role of "pastor's wife," and I've worked in the church for 10 years... I'd love to read this one and pass it on! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! Can't decide whether I would take it myself (missionary wife) or give it to my mom (pastor's wife). Or we could share it like I'm always telling my kids to do:)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see who gets to win! I know that this will be practical for so many!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your blog! It is an encouragement to me!
Looks like a great read!

Hey,
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds great! My husband is in the process of raising support to do ministry full time at our church. I'm excited about it, but pretty nervous too, I've never EVER thought of myself as a pastor's wife or anyone to model after. This has been something I've been thinking a lot about. Thanks for sharing this book, even if I don't win, I'll be picking this one up. :)
Sounds like this will be a great book! I would love to win it!!! Thanks for the giveaway:)
ReplyDeleteI've been looking forward to this book coming out & I'd LOVE to win it!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this book to pass on to my dear friend, an amazing pastor's wife! :)
ReplyDeleteyou should really write a book, ya know....
ReplyDelete..& i think it's a girl :)
I would love to win! I think that I will have to read it myself and then I will have to decide if I will give it to my mom (a pastor's wife) or my friend who is our pastor's wife.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
ReplyDeleteI would so love to win a copy of this book because I'm a PW wearing tacky open toed sandals with nude panty hose and I need to know how to be a PW that wears cute shoes. I'm kidding, I know this book isn't a guide to cute shoes and I really don't wear pantyhose with sandals...sorry, I know it was vain of me to add that but I just had to. Seriously, I'm excited about this book getting into the hands of many PW's including myself because the Lord knows I need all the help I can get!
ReplyDeleteFirst time leaving a comment here, but I've been reading your blog for about the past year. I know. Lame-o. But whatever:)
ReplyDeleteI'm a new lead/sr. pastor's wife. My husband just got called on as the lead guy in August, when we also had our first baby. Big transitions. I mean big.
Anyways. Love your blog. Have been meaning to say hi for a while, just haven't gotten up the nerve... (not sure if it's nerves, just not sure what it is).
I'd love to read this book. I love fashion and sometimes have a hard time maintaining the balance between clothes and ministry:) Oy.
Thanks, Sarah. I've appreciated learning your heart through this blog.
I would love to give this to my pastor's wife--she is a sweetheart through and through, but she is hurt by others fairly often. Maybe this will help her understand others a bit more, even when they are beging unbelievably unlovable!
ReplyDeleteYAY for terrific giveaways! SOooo excited!
ReplyDeleteI actually know Lisa from back when my mom (a fellow Preacher's Wife) and her worked together. She was always full of smiles and life. I can't wait to read her book!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to win this! My husband is in his third year of being a youth pastor so we are still learning the "art" of ministry and what comes with the titles of pastor and pastor's wife. Thanks for blogging about this!
ReplyDeleteI have 3 boys too! And live very close to the church where my husband works :) And it takes lots of coffe to get me thinking also. I've been wanting to read this book then pass it on to fellow ministry wives! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good book. As a pk and now a pastors wife, I'm excited to read it!
ReplyDelete-Rachelle
I'd love to win this book! As would everyone else! :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to read this book and I have a sweet friend I would pass it on to. She and her husband are possibly getting back into ministry and I know she would love to read it too!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win a copy! Please, please pick me!
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteA great give-away.

ReplyDeleteJust reading the 2 quotes makes me want to read it!!
Carla
Since I'm not super lucky, I'm gonna request this one at the Library and if by chance I DO win, well, then I'll take back my "I'm not super lucky" quote and I'll eat my words.I'll post pictures too.
ReplyDeleteI would love to read this book! I am a fairly new pastor's wife in a little town and I'm just sure that it would help me wrap my head around that role a little better. Thanks for the opportunity! I appreciate your blog Sarah!

Pastor's wife here... thanks for the chance!

You won me over with the quotes. Naturally. :)
ReplyDeleteI love good books - God speaks to my heart through them, and I love that.
Thanks for the giveaway you sweet thing. :)
This "former" pastor's wife... now an Army Chaplain's wife says, "Please pick me!!"
ReplyDeleteThough I'm a veteran pastors wife, I can still use all the encouragement I can get, some days its a pretty tough battle!
ReplyDeleteI am not a pastors wife, but I still really want to read Lisa's book. It seems like it is a great book for woman no matter what profession our husbands are in.
ReplyDeleteI would really like to read this book. Thanks for the opportunity to win it..
ReplyDeleteI would love this book! Thank you for doing a giveaway!
ReplyDeleteChel
Would love to win, but am so glad you are still blogging.
ReplyDeleteDon't stop! You encourage me. So. Much. :0)
Love your blog and the great encouragement! Sounds like an awesome book!
ReplyDeleteSometimes a book hits so right on, you just want to highlight the whole thing. :)
ReplyDeleteRandomly pick me, randomly pick me, randomly pick me, said one pastor's wife to another!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this book for my Mom. It sounds great! I think I might even read it first before handing it over....
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this book - I'm a PW, and just started following Lisa's blog and would love to read her book. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes, this pastor's wife would love this book! Especially since I had said the title, "Yes, you can still wear cute shoes," to my sister-in-law a year ago as she was about to become a pastor's wife! Honestly, I laughed when I read Lisa's title. :)

I would love this book!
ReplyDeleteI am a pastor's wife with only three years of experience.
I am not a blogger and my e-mail address is so_young79@hotmail.com
woop woop! :D
ReplyDeleteSo, I bought the book, but I would love to have an autographed one..and I could give mine away to a pastor's wife friend? But then that would be totally selfish and un pastor's wife-ish of me. Right?
ReplyDeleteThis pastor's wife needs that book! theatkinsonclan at earthlink dot net.
