Esther Grimes

"Beyond the Glass House" offers a candid and heartfelt account of a pastor's family navigating the ups and downs of ministry life. Discover the author's journey from being an 'unwanted' third child to overcoming challenges as a pastor's kid, wife, and mom. Gain insight into the unique love offering system of a church that blessed the author's family in unexpected ways. Marvel at the miraculous provision for the author's son's education, as faith and prayer lead to an extraordinary turn of events. Experience the joy and challenges of volunteering at a Crisis Pregnancy Center, where the author's passion for helping young women blossoms into unexpected opportunities to share the love of Christ.. The narrative unfolds with heartwarming tales from the author's last church, a small country congregation, where retirement becomes a new chapter of ministry. From hymns to hip-hop, the church experiences the triumphs of hosting Vacation Bible School for the neighborhood, proving that sometimes the smallest acts can have the biggest impact. As the story culminates in the present, living in a cozy cottage with 28 windows, the author reflects on a life held securely in the hands of God.
