Reader's Comment This is an intimate, frank, personal portrayal of love, devotion, frustration, joy, sorrow, and satisfaction in the life of a minister's wife. It is easy, interesting reading which carries you along the smooth, rugged, hilly, deep paths of pastoral and administrative church life, as experienced and seen from the viewpoint of a shepherdess, who shares completely in the life and work of her shepherd husband. Having known them both and having stayed in their home on occasional visits to their parish, including the Dominica experience, I truly enjoyed reading the manuscript. I heartily recommend the reading of this book to all those engaged in the pastoral ministry - husbands and wives, and those who look forward to doing so, as well as anyone who wishes to enjoy a fascinating story of God's leading in the lives of this adventurous couple. Elder G. Ralph Thompson Former Executive Secretary General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Silver Spring, Maryland, USA About the Book This volume emerged out of an almost fatal experience on the job. The prologue relates vivid details of an air-ambulance trip from the intensive-care unit at the Governor Juan Luis Hospital, St. Croix, Virgin Islands, to Miami Beach, Florida, as the author sought the expertise of an electro-physiologist. Looking back at her entire life's experience, the author concluded that she had much to share with fellow travelers. The story takes the reader from Trinidad and Tobago in the southern Caribbean, through Barbados, St. Lucia, Dominica, and Antigua, to the U.S. Virgin Islands, where the author and her husband now reside. The book is filled with intrigue, happy times and heartaches, goals achieved and disappointments, near death encounters and true love. As the author has experienced God's care throughout her adventurous life, she can only be very grateful, and this book expresses her appreciation to God and all whose lives touched hers in positive ways.
