An Top 100 Bestseller with 75,000 copies sold and over 800 "Five Star" reviews.

What could possibly drive a pastor's wife to run away from home?

After years of frustration from life in a church fishbowl, Annie McGregor walks away from it all and boards a plane for Colorado. She has no way of knowing her college sweetheart is headed to the same cabin in the Rockies, terrified and gravely wounded. Their unexpected reunion couldn't have come at a worse time. Or could it? Bewildered that God would allow Michael Dean to walk back into her life, Annie pleads with Him to keep her heart true to her husband and her family. God answers her prayer, but in a way she would never expect.

Written by a former pastor's wife, Annie's story provides a rare look inside the family life of those in the ministry, particularly the unique pressures on those who marry men of God.

The Runaway Pastor Wife edition by Diane Moody Religion Spirituality eBooks

Since others have explained what this novel is about, I will tell a little of what it isn't about. First, there is nothing about the paranormal involved. There are no ghosts, witches or vampires. No fortune tellers or seers. It is getting a little difficult to find novels that doesn't include these. For the review (s) that said that it was too unbelievable --- well that is why the vampire novels are so popular now -- people want to read about the <unbelievable.>

I think that the characters that the author succeeded in wanted us to like, I did like, and the villains --- I didn't like at all. The novel kept me interested until the very end. It flowed smoothly, and was easy to read, follow along, and understand. I am not an editor, but didn't notice any errors, and in fact I think that it was very well written. Debating whether to give it 4 or 5 stars, I decided to go with my own feelings about the book and gave it 5.

Since I depend much on other reviews, I seldom get a book that I don't like, so you will find most of my reviews are rated pretty high. I was entertained throughout the reading, and looked forward to my bedtime habit of reading before turning off the light for the night. I don't think that you will be disappointment if you chose to buy this ebook.

The Runaway Pastor Wife edition by Diane Moody Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews


I really did not know what to expect with this book. I do enjoy Christian literature, but I tend to go with inspirational romances. This is not a romance although it does have strong romantic elements and a beautiful and incredibly strong love between Annie and David.

While Annie is deeply in love with her husband David, she is worn down by the hypocrisy of his parishioners. They ridicule her husband's decisions, they give her children a hard time and demand all of his time. She just has to get away to think.

She leaves without telling her family and flies to Colorado to stay at her college friend's cabin in the woods. There she tries to get in touch with her feelings. She finds she is actually angry at God for allowing the problems in her life to happen.

Snowed in with a badly sprained ankle, she is surprised when an injured man shows up at her door. She's even more surprised when she discovers it's her college boyfriend, Michael Dean, a man who broke her heart.

What could God have planned for her? As she nurses Michael, she will she find the answers she is seeking and end up even more confused?

At first, I was not sure about this book. It seemed to jump around a bit, bringing in quite a few characters with many points of view, but I was intrigued and continued to read. As the story unfolds the many characters mesh together and the story pulled me further into the book.

Annie faces questions that I believe many Christians have asked. I know I have. I found her search for answers compelling. She only wants to find her closeness with God. A closeness she feels she has lost. I enjoyed her journey toward the truth. I wept a few tears along the way.

Michael is a very confused man and has allowed his life to go in a direction where he has been so driven to succeed, he has forgotten what is truly important in life. I enjoyed his realization that he had made a great many mistakes in his life and needs to change his ways.

David has allowed his church to so totally control him, he has neglected the very people he loves most. When Annie leaves it’s a huge wake-up call for him. He is determined to change his ways and prove he is the same man Annie fell in love with and the same husband and father. He goes to great lengths to prove this to her and his children.

I thoroughly enjoyed this spiritual journey for not only Annie ​but David and Michael. If you like Christian-based fiction, then you will love this book. It touched my heart and enriched my faith as well. Ms. Moody is a gifted story teller and I will definitely look for other books by her. Happy reading!
I finished this book with a variety of mixed emotions. One of them included the strong desire to throw it across the room, but it was on a so I couldn't. First, I'm not saying anything against the basic plot. Sure, I can see why a pastor's wife would get fed up and want some "time off." That's not unbelievable at all. My hat goes off to pastors and their wives, just as it goes to my rabbi and his wife (we're Messianics). Anyone who thinks they have a one-day-a-week job is a moron. Every pastor I've known, every rabbi I've known, is so busy he's like a dog chasing his own tail and never catching it.

This one has a lot going for it. (I won't even be nitpicky and gripe about how the title sounds like she's the wife of a runaway pastor, no I won't.) Seriously, there are a few laughs, a few sentimental moments, and as others have pointed out, it proves that a book does not need foul language or sex to tell a decent story. On the other hand, it never truly engaged me. I purchased it almost two months ago and just finished it today. Why? Because I kept rolling my eyes and putting it down. There were several eye-rolling moments--some of the "bad guys," whether the real bad guys (you know, the killer-Snidely Whiplash kind) or just the really truly obnoxious bad guys who need a punch in the snout, are just a tad too stereotypical. The really obnoxious bad guy reminds me of the wicked witch out of the Wizard of Oz--the "I'll get you and your little dog too!" type. The other--"I've chased you all the way through the book but now I'm gonna just stand here and let the other guy talk his head off so we can reveal how this was set up for the audience" type. Oh, and don't forget the shrill, publicity-seeking mother-in-law. If there's a sequel to this book, I imagine she will be hosting a Maury Povich-type show where everyone beats on each other with folding chairs. I've seen a lot of evil mothers-in-law, but this one takes the proverbial cake.

I won't deny there were some good moments. It came about too easily, but Michael's conversion scene was well-done enough that it brought a tear to these jaded eyes. A couple of the flashbacks were memorable. But...

Then there's the out-and-out stupid stuff. In the "discussion questions" at the end of the book, there's "Do you think David gave in too easily when he found where Max was going and what he was up to?" Why does that even rate a discussion? It reeked of "convenient plot point" here. David is wimpy all through the book, with the exception of the one well-delivered punch he delivers to the obnoxious bad guy. But even that seems to be just an excuse for a semi-comic John Wayne saloon fight.

Finally, there's the pseudo-resolution. I say "pseudo" because that's all it was. Christine is back--and Max and Michael are right there. Holy cow, doesn't that rate a scene of its own? But nothing at all is said. The bad guys were found under a mound of snow. Okay, fine, but what about the envelope full of evidence? There were other people implicated in that, right? Oh, and what about faithful Caroline, Megan and PJ? Not worth hearing about--Caroline is doubtless minding the other kids, who aren't worth mention either since they had almost no part in the book anyway, and PJ is now car-less, but we don't care because the stars are happy, and Megan...? Meh. What about Amelia? She was a minor character, but in many ways she was more sympathetic than the protagonist. It seems like the author didn't consider any of these minor characters worthy of their own resolution; she chose to end the book in Colorado, but for no reason I can think of except she was tired of writing and didn't want to do it anymore.

And last--but most. "We're taking a sabbatical!" Well, that's great, BUT--

1. What happens to the church? David left it in the middle of a civil war which has not ended. Not only that, but the people at the church were left wondering if maybe there's some truth to what Obnoxious Bad Guy said, since apparently David and family won't be going back.
2. What about obnoxious bad guy? The way it ends...HE WINS, he and his power-grabbing cronies.
3. What happens when the honeymoon--oops, sabbatical--is over? Do they come back to the same church?
4. Whatever church they go to, unless David figures out his priorities and learns better time management, won't the same problem just happen again?

None of these issues (which are pretty important, to my way of thinking) are resolved...but everyone's sitting around the fireplace, chuckling. It's like an old Star Trek episode--no matter how many red-shirts got eaten or how many guest stars went mad or got killed, Spock's always going to tilt his eyebrow and everyone's going to laugh. To me, this is not a resolution. And if I could've done it without busting my , I would have chucked the book across the room. "Remove from Device" doesn't have that same feeling of satisfaction, but very little about this book ended on a satisfying note, anyway.
Since others have explained what this novel is about, I will tell a little of what it isn't about. First, there is nothing about the paranormal involved. There are no ghosts, witches or vampires. No fortune tellers or seers. It is getting a little difficult to find novels that doesn't include these.
