Description for the back of the Book,
“WHEN IS THE FIRST LADY EVER FIRST”
When is the First Lady ever First? This is the question Psychologist, Mary Eckles is faced with as she tries to fulfill her best friend’s request to help a number of Pastors and their wives navigate through the world of ministry and faith-based leadership.
Mary, a first lady herself, steps out of her comfort zone and accepts her best friend’s appeal to reach out to this special group of men and women whose heavy anointing to serve is being hindered by their even heavier life challenges. For Mary this may be the biggest undertaking she has ever faced. For these seven men and women it could be the difference between life and death.
This Christian Fictional novel speaks truth to each situation Mary walks these leaders through. From confronting verbal and physical abuse and extramarital affairs to recognizing depression and addressing homosexuality; no subject is left untouched.
As challenges arise in her own family, Mary is forced to make the hard decision to follow her own advice and continue to minster with integrity.
Follow Mary in her journey to find the answer to the much voiced question amongst women leaders, pastors’ wives, and members across a broad spectrum of denominations; when is the First Lady ever first. Her discovery will surprise, enlighten and ring true to your spirit.
Although When is the First Lady Ever First is a Christian novel, the story’s plot gives a voice to women worldwide who have ministry influence over others, but who long for someone to minister to their discouraged hearts. They are trying to do all for God, but need to realize that God wants faith more than works.

Tried but no
I really wanted to like this but not it was not good. It was poorly written and extremely unrealistic. It was good to see real struggles that really happen in Pastors and First Ladies lives, but the outcomes were so unbelievable. But to each it's own.

Wow. Just wow. I made the statemen about halfway through that laity and leadership alike should read this book. I can't say too much as a Pastor's Wife but I can say this book hit as the young people say. I wish I could say more but I was happy that I read this book.
