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. Beth Runkle and her husband serve with Cru Military®. She served as a military wife during her husband's 25-year career with the Air Force. She disciples and conducts Bible studies for female cadets and young military spouses. Having come to faith through Bible study, she has led small groups for military couples and taught Bible study for 23 years. She is also a women's ministry speaker in various venues. She earned her Master of Theological Studies at Gateway Seminary and wrote a book for military wives called Another Move, God? 30 Encouragements to Embrace Your Life as a Military Wife with B & H Publishing Group in October of 2024. The Runkles have two kids in college.
