Synopsis

Serving in numerous ministry capacities together, Geoff and Sherry Surratt have valuable lessons and observations to pass along to couples seeking to serve in ministry together.Marriage is hard. Learning to do life with another human being presents unanticipated challenges that take determined, focused, humbling effort to work through.Ministry is hard. Much like marriage, it's full of unanticipated challenges, requires a great deal of selflessness, and often comes with little reward.Marriage and ministry together? It’s a unique calling, yet couples who enter into it seldom receive adequate preparation, training, or even warning!Geoff and Sherry Surratt have been at both marriage and ministry together for over 30 years and have seen the highs, lows, and everything in between—they've managed to figure out a way to make it all work together. But the Surratts aren't the Facebook ministry couple with perfect hair, perfect skin, and perfect children. In fact, Together isn't a how-to-guide to create the model marriage-in-ministry. It's more like coffee with friends who've been where you are going and have learned some valuable lessons that may help you find your way, together.

Goodreads review by Stephen on December 02, 2020

I read this book for a class on Building Covenant Marriages, and perhaps I had wrong expectations going in, but it was significantly disappointing on many levels. First, I had hoped that there would be some sense of a biblical theological framework for how doing ministry “together” should be thought......more

Goodreads review by Adam on January 19, 2022

This was an easy book to read. It’s written in a conversational style and follows a fairly consistent pattern from chapter to chapter with each of the authors alternating their comments about particular seasons in their marriage/ministry and the topic at hand. They also include a section at the end......more

Goodreads review by Chad on July 18, 2024

My wife and I sometimes navigate some, uh, tension when we work together on shared ministry projects, so I thought "Together: A Guide for Couples Doing Ministry Together" might offer some helpful insight for us to consider as we continue to lead alongside each other in the church. And the book was f......more

Goodreads review by Jean on September 12, 2022

As a pastor’s wife I got some great advice. I didn’t come into the ministry through a traditional route-my husband was an engineer first and felt called to vocational ministry later. I would recommend this to couples that are engaged and going into ministry together. Because of my unique situation s......more
