Trapped in a jail cell in a troubled Central American republic, Martin Springer, an idealistic U.S. volunteer doctor, faces execution. His “crime”: having witnessed the massacre of an entire village by government forces. His beautiful and determined wife, Katherine, arrives in the country with money in hand to try and save him, but she too is arrested. Her crime: Resisting the advances of General Vaca, the sadistic head of the secret police. Her punishment: imprisonment and degradation in a low-class brothel. When word of his wife’s plight reaches Springer, somehow he must escape from his dungeon cell, find his wife and rescue her, and kill her tormentors—and in the process shed some of his humanitarianism and take on some of the brutality of his captors.
As a woman leading a life of influence, you may find yourself without sufficient clarity or equipping for the challenges you face. For many, the role of wife of a leader is one thrust upon, rather than chosen. For others, it is a responsibility embraced but no less complicated to navigate. In either case, as one sharing a journey with a world-changer, this book is for you. Debby Thompson has spent decades listening to the voices of tried and tested women, and her experiences have instilled a sense of urgency in her to pass on the insights she has gleaned. Within The Leader’s Wife, she addresses some of the most difficult questions facing wives of leaders. With vulnerability and candor, Debby speaks from her own mistakes and discoveries. The Leader’s Wife offers not a job description but a GPS. It is a blueprint—without how-to’s and ought-to’s—for igniting within you what the Creator has already designed. The Biblical teaching, personal stories, and hard-won lessons Debby communicates will guide and empower you to live with eternal intentionality.
Take a few moments and reflect on some of the greatest highlights and some of the most precious moments in your life. The writer is convinced that most of these recollections have something to do with people, people with whom you enjoy a warm, quality relationship. Why is he so convinced? Because life is relationships. God’s DNA is love. He is the God of grace and community. This is who He is and what He does. It is part and parcel of the very nature of God to constantly share Himself with His creation and with all of us. In this wonderful book Johan Smith unearths deep biblical truths about the essence of relationships. He shows us that God is deeply relational, therefore, we need to follow in his footsteps and become passionate about his kind of relationships again. Johan guides us masterfully how to grow and nurture such relationships with God and others in this must-read book!
