about

When you think of a husband deployed into combat, a spouse called to serve God and people, long seasons of loneliness and solo parenting, a Permanent Change of Station, starting new relationships all over again, and a life that seems constantly on the move and perhaps out of control, chances are you immediately think of the life of a military wife.

But there’s another life whose journey has many parallels to these things—and that’s the biblical character of Sarah. Join author and longtime military wife Beth Runkle as she dives into the story of Sarah, offering thirty hope-filled and practical encouragements for military wives along the way.

Navigating the military lifestyle is not easy—but Jesus has His eye on those who are called to it, especially wives. Whether you face a parenting struggle, a marriage frustration, or yet another move, take heart in these encouragements as they empower you to embrace God’s peace and your unique role in His mission as a military wife.
