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 of 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.

The Leader's Wife encourages women to pursue:

• intimacy with Jesus,
• authenticity with others,
• a passion for their calling, and
• a purpose for their influence.

I am the wife of a leader and understand the feelings, fears, and failings of others like me. Debby Thompson has written a GPS just for us! The Leader’s Wife is your “go to book”—it will empower you with definition and direction in becoming the person and partner you long to be! Read this book! It is life changing!
