Publisher's Synopsis
Called to Be His Helper: Finding Strength and Purpose in Loving Beyond the Difficulties is a faith-filled guide for Christian wives navigating the storms of marriage with husbands who carry unresolved wounds, challenging behaviors, or difficult personalities. Written with authenticity and compassion, this book invites readers to find renewed strength and purpose by leaning fully into God's grace.
Drawing from her own journey through four marriages-each one teaching her new depths of resilience and reliance on God-author Jane Hanna Stoudt reveals hard-earned lessons in what it truly means to be a "helper" in marriage. With honesty and hope, she shares how each of her experiences, including a decade-long marriage to a narcissist, the heartbreak of betrayal, and the realization of her own need for God, shaped her understanding of love, endurance, and forgiveness.
In Called to Be His Helper, readers are introduced to the H.E.L.P. Framework:
- H - Heart of a Helper: Embracing the biblical call to be a loving support in marriage
- E - Empathy and Encouragement: Offering understanding and compassion even in difficult times
- L - Living with Love and Peace: Fostering a peaceful environment that reflects God's grace
- P - Personal Resilience and Self-Care: Protecting one's heart and well-being to love more fully
Through powerful stories, biblical wisdom, and practical techniques rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Jane equips wives with tools to navigate the complexities of marriage while staying grounded in their faith. This book is not about fixing your husband or finding quick solutions-it's about discovering how God can transform your heart and your marriage as you become the helper He's called you to be.
Perfect for wives who are weary, hurt, or simply seeking God's wisdom, Called to Be His Helper offers a lifeline of encouragement, strength, and hope. Step into this journey with Jane and discover how to love with grace, endure with patience, and trust God's work in both you and your husband's hearts.
