About the Book

There are stories throughout this book, told from the perspective of ministers and their children. If you are an MC (ministers child), you will be encouraged to know you are not alone in your journey. After reading these pages, you will likely think to yourself, "It sounds like we were all members of the same church!" For now, relax and read what it is like to be the child of a minister, for in these pages you will come to understand that the stereotypes people have concerning the children of ministers are mostly false. Most MCs are great people that are well adjusted and socially adept. As an MC, you should be proud of who you are in relation to your father and who you are becoming as an individual. If you are a minister, throughout the pages of this book you will find stories and ideas familiar to you and your family. If you are not a minister, this book will be fascinating and help you discover and understand the life of a minister's child. This will be a fresh perspective on people with whom you have been friends and whom you have seen grow up-ministers' children, young and old. These people are real, with real feelings, real needs, real goals and real aspirations. MCs would love you to have a deeper understanding of who they are and the issues they navigate. I challenge you to get to know MCs for who they are rather than through the lens of their father's image. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised to find a thriving heart longing to be recognized as an individual with talents and gifts. Perhaps in the future, ministers' children will be viewed as who they truly are: individual people, created in God's image, who are spiritually mature followers of Christ. Their success will be understood as an accomplishment and acknowledged as a personal achievement. This book focuses specifically on the fishbowl effect as it relates to the children of ministers. It does not focus on how ministers' children behave. However, after reading this book you will have a new appreciation for ministers, their wives and their children. Ministers have goals for their children-that they grow up normal, well-adjusted, healthy and loving God and others as they glorify God. Can we ask more?
About the Author: Steve Maltempi has been in ministry for 25 years and raised four children. Each of his children were educated through homeschool, private, and public schools. All of them were named Student of the Year at their respective school. Each of his children are still involved in local churches and involved in ministry. Steve has also been on staff with and had hundreds of friends in ministry and observed the ins and outs of raising a child as a minister. Now, after being the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention student and collegiate minister ministering with thousands of ministers, Steve has a keen awareness and understanding of what it means to be a child of a minister and the special situations through which they navigate. Steve is a native of Louisiana where he met his wife, Joy. They have been married for 32 years and have four children ranging in ages from 16-26. Steve received his bachelor's degree in business management from Louisiana Tech University, master's degree in Christian education from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and doctorate from Oxford Graduate School. He has 23 years of youth ministry experience in Louisiana and Virginia in local churches. Steve joined the SBC of Virginia staff as student ministry strategist in May 2008. Steve's passion and life calling have been to Student Ministry. He has spoken at national, state and local events such as Youth Leader's Summit in Orlando, leadership training events, preaching to teens and college students, leading Disciple Nows and retreats. His heart's desire is to serve collegiate and student pastors as they impact the lives of students.
