Synopsis

From their experiences as members of a clergy family, Edward and Anne Wimberly have constructed a self-help text that addresses all the needs and concerns clergy family members experience. Clergy families face a special set of stresses - living in the fishbowl of congregational life with high expectations and little privacy, the potential of frequent moves, and a lack of family time. In this unique resource, the emphasis is placed on strategies for building a sense of family resilience, which allows for honesty, empathy, and the uncovering of meaning in the midst of stress. The authors are uniquely qualified to write this book, being both the children of clergy and having the experience of 40 years together as a clergy family.
