Tish Barnhardt’s Powerful Fictionalization of Struggling Women in Church Ministry Soon to Showcase at Frankfurt Book Fair 2025
Tish Barnhardt is a well-known speaker and women’s author who has made her platform based on her own experience with the ugly side of church politics. She shares it all with compelling fictionalization of her account in her novel “So You Want To Be A First Lady.” This year, she wants to continue sharing this story with global audiences by exhibiting the book at the upcoming Frankfurt Book Fair 2025.
“Whew! This book had me on an emotional roller coaster. It is an easy read because you want to know what happened next. It also makes you think about how you would have handled situations if you were in First Lady Smith’s shoes. She kept her class, faith and morals during trying times. It is an excellent book for book clubs too for a great discussion.” – Patricia M.
Within the last several years, women’s author Tish Barnhardt has been making a name for herself with a story that is both niche yet speaks to a much wider topic in American churches.
The title of her novel is So You Want To Be A First Lady? It is a gripping portrayal of the unseen struggles faced by wives of many lead pastors in America’s churches. Wanting to further share this story worldwide, Barnhardt has now arranged to exhibit it at the upcoming Frankfurt Book Fair 2025.
The book draws upon decades of her ministry experience and countless personal encounters while combining heartfelt empathy with unflinching honesty about the modern state of church politics in America. Her exposure to this ugly side of spiritual leadership has enabled her to create a niche platform where women of faith can find empowerment and advocacy.
Barnhardt’s novel follows the fictional Carol Smith, whose husband’s appointment as pastor of the newly planted Lakeside Baptist Church elevates her to the role of first lady. Yet, as Carol strives to support her husband’s growing ministry, she comes face-to-face with many uncomfortable truths about being married to men of spiritual authority.
She witnesses power plays in the pews, questions of faithfulness among fellow parishioners, and the pressure to silence her own voice for the sake of appearances. All the while, suspicion and scandal threaten to undo everything she struggled to put together.
Visitors to this year’s Frankfurt Book Fair can find So You Want To Be A First Lady? at the self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet’s exhibit at stand 6.0 A12. The book fair will be held on October 15-19, 2025, at the Messe Frankfurt, Ludwig-Erhard-Anlage 1, 60327 Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Get a copy on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and ReadersMagnet Bookstore.
