Description
What is it really like to grow up as the pastor’s kid?
Everyone at church knows your name. People notice what you do. Sunday mornings can be a scramble, family dinners get interrupted, and sometimes it feels as though you are living in a fishbowl. There can be wonderful moments—and difficult ones too.
More Than the Pastor’s Kid: A Story of Faith, Family, Grace, and Finding Who God Made Me to Be gives children growing up in ministry families permission to be exactly that—children who are still learning, growing, asking questions, making mistakes, and discovering their own relationship with Jesus.
Through a warm, humorous story, engaging rhyme, and colorful illustrations, readers experience life inside a pastor’s home: the revolving door of people needing help, interrupted family time, expectations from church members, painful words, laughter around the dinner table, family game nights, prayer, forgiveness, and the joy of watching God change lives.
At the heart of the book is an important message every pastor’s child needs to hear: Being a PK is part of your story, but it is not your entire identity.
Children are encouraged to discover their own God-given gifts and personalities, understand that they do not have to be perfect, and recognize that their parents’ faith must eventually become a personal faith of their own.
This is more than a children’s book about ministry life. It is an invitation for pastors, spouses, and their children to talk honestly about the blessings and pressures of growing up in a ministry family—and to rediscover the grace that holds a family together.
A meaningful choice for pastor’s kids, ministry families, church leaders, Christian families, and churches that want to better understand and encourage the children growing up closest to ministry.
You are seen. You are loved. You belong to Jesus. And you are more than the pastor’s kid.
