Recent Release, "What Every Pastor Should Know...," by Bert McQueen, Offers Biblical Guidance for Clergy Navigating the Sacred Covenant of Matrimony

Crab Orchard, KY, September 10, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Bert McQueen CMC, MSW has completed a new book, titled, "What Every Pastor Should Know About Marriage," addressing a critical gap in ministerial training. Compelled by the painful failures of pastor friends whose marriages have crumbled, leaving them unable to continue their sacred calling, McQueen provides an examination of Scripture in proper context—particularly Ephesians 5:22-25—and extracts timeless principles about the husband-wife relationship that transcend cultural interpretation.

McQueen's credentials are substantial: a Certified Master Chaplain with four decades of experience, he founded and directed two thriving nonprofit ministries in Alaska, including the Alaska Trauma Center and the Alaska Police and Fire Chaplains Ministries. He holds advanced degrees in Counseling, Chaplaincy, and Social Work, and has completed Master Level training in Traumatic Stress, Grief, and Crisis Management. His service earned him recognition for Outstanding Civic Achievement from Anchorage and the President's Volunteer Service Award in 2020. Yet beyond his impressive qualifications lies a warm, endearing presence that enables vulnerable individuals to seek healing and restoration.

In "What Every Pastor Should Know About Marriage," McQueen reveals the transformative moment in 1983 when he began asking God to expose areas requiring spiritual growth. Through more than a dozen years of dedicated study and application, he discovered God's absolute principles for marital harmony. Readers will uncover the scriptural foundations for healthy marriage, learn how mutual submission—not mere female deference—forms the bedrock of lasting partnerships, and grasp why husbands are called to sacrificial love modeled after Christ. This thought-provoking exploration challenges shallow interpretations while equipping pastoral leaders to build marriages that withstand life's storms, preventing the tragic ministerial casualties that first inspired McQueen's writing.
"I believe God has absolutes concerning marriage and the husband-wife relationship," said the author. "My prayer is that pastors will embrace these principles not as legalism, but as the pathway to marriages that glorify God and strengthen their witness."

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, this insightful work provides essential guidance for clergy seeking to fortify their own marriages and counsel congregants through relational challenges. This resource equips pastoral leaders to model and teach biblical marriage principles that transform individual families and strengthen entire faith communities.
