SYNOPSIS: Today's evangelists--whether speaking from the pulpit or via satellite--are playing an increasing role in the moral conduct of the United States. Now, in positive, uplifting interviews, seven wives of famous evangelists speak frankly of the roles they play in their husbands' demanding lives and how their husbands' careers have influenced them. They tell tender stories about their childhoods and how they met their husbands. Ruth Graham, born and raised in China, believed that a wife's submission to her husband could only leave both partners hurt. So while Billy built his ministry, Ruth counseled Christian couples. Tammy Fay Bakker admits quite honestly that she does not want to stay home with the kids all day. With her husband, Jim, she hosts a daily talk and variety show whose satellite beams Christian programming to all of North America twenty-four hours a day. Evelyn Roberts, wife of renowned evangelist Oral Roberts, has survived tragedy and personal anguish, losing one of her four children in a plane crash and another to a drug-related problem. Maude Aimee Humbard, Frances Swaggart, Arvella Schuller, and Macel Falwell are the other women in this remarkable volume who have faced public scrutiny of their wealth, their religion, and their values. At last they are given a forum to speak about their true hardships and enduring faith--and it makes for unforgettable reading. James Schaffer is a graduate of Oral Roberts University and is currently a doctoral candidate at Harvard University. Colleen Todd is a former copywriter for J. Walter Thompson.
