First Lady: Confessions of a Preachers Wife

First Lady: Confessions of a Preachers Wife
Mikasenjoya

**** (4.9/5)

Aaah- what an interesting title and even though this book is fiction, it seems to portray a pretty accurate description of the life of a preachers wife. Before reading this book, I had some ideas of the kind of drama that being a preachers wife could entail, however Mikasenjoya, did an excellent job of bringing to life.

The First Lady introduced us to Jacqueline Stevens as her family is on the move again when here husband, Pastor Lance Stevens takes a job as Pastor for New Light Church in Southlake, Texas. The book is in the form of Jacqueline’s journal as she navigates life in a new city and new home. The book opens with drama as members of the church are showing the Steven’s their new home, but you can feel the underlying drama and resentment (one of the ladies was a generational member of the church) and it doesn’t stop there. Jacqueline must navigate through life not only as a dutiful wife and mother, but as the First Lady of the Church even where there is evil lurking under the surface trying to wreak havoc.

The characters, situations and dialogue in this book were very real. It felt like a genuine portrayal of a pastor’s wife. I also enjoyed the spiritual and uplifting aspects of it- the prayers and the prayer map were an excellent addition.

This book is a relatively fast read and very enjoyable; A great addition to any home library.
