My Thoughts about the Book
“You Can Still Wear Cute Shoes” is a humorous and yet deeply encouraging book, written by Lisa McKay.

Don’t let the title mislead you into thinking that you have to be a Pastor’s wife to enjoy it. With a very humorous and deeply human touch, Lisa McKay, shares a witty look at the behind the scences experience of being a Pastor’s wife.

Bringing a human look at an oft not thought about position in the church, it was both touching and engaging how Lisa McKay, explore the trials, tribulations and joys of being a Pastor’s wife and not only provide sound advice for both those who are involved in the ministry and those who are not, but “You Can Still Wear Cute Shoes” also addresses issues that the “non-pastor” wife may experience, including issues such as a church that hurts.

The ancedotes that she shared from her beginnings prior to being a Pastor wife, to deep observations of interactions from before and behind the pulpit, I finished “You Can Still Wear Cute Shoes” not only chuckling and being reminded that Pastor Wives are human beings too, but also a look at my own preconceptions of Pastor Wives and also how, in the long run, we are all fellow believers, both with like and different opinions, in this awesome journey with our Heavenly Father.

Each chapter ends with not only insights to think about, but challenging questions as well, that is applicable to anyone whose involved in any level of ministry and a great reminder that we don’t become any more of a “Super Being” but are still human beings.

I was pleasantly surprised as well, in Lisas’ insight about blogging that I felt for many of us who blog for various reasons, could benefit from as well as encouraged in our blogging experiences.

A light and fun read, “You can Still Wear Cute Shoes” reminds all of us, that if we choose to go into ministry, be it through our spouses or personal decisions, that it’s about who we are and yes, cute shoes are still applicable!
