Itinerant's Wife: Her Qualifications, Duties, Trials, And Rewards (1851)

The Itinerant's Wife: Her Qualifications, Duties, Trials, and Rewards is a book written by H. M. Eaton and published in 1851. The book is a guide for the wives of itinerant preachers, who were commonly expected to travel with their husbands and assist them in their ministry. The book provides a detailed overview of the qualities that a good itinerant's wife should possess, such as piety, patience, and a willingness to sacrifice personal comforts for the sake of the ministry. It also outlines the various duties that a wife may be expected to perform, including caring for the home, assisting with church activities, and providing emotional support to her husband. The book acknowledges the challenges and trials that come with an itinerant lifestyle, such as financial instability and social isolation, and provides advice on how to navigate these difficulties. Finally, the book emphasizes the spiritual rewards that come with serving alongside one's husband in the ministry, and encourages women to embrace their role as partners in the work of God. Overall, The Itinerant's Wife is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religious life in 19th-century America, as well as for modern-day women seeking inspiration and guidance in their own spiritual journeys.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
