About the Author

Pamela M. Hines's ministry began in 1982, after her husband Darrell L. Hines was raised to life after being tragically struck by lightning.

Together, they pastor one of the most dynamic churches within the city of Milwaukee, and they are the overseeing founders of several other Christian Faith Fellowship Churches.

Pamela has an anointing upon her life to minister to women. She is the founder of Wife School, a powerful series of lessons designed to meet the needs of married women and single women who desire to be married. Pamela’s grace and message attract women from a variety of racial, economic, and social backgrounds. Her aim is to empower women to be all that God has called them to be, focusing on the spirit, soul, and body. Pamela’s earnest desire is to help the body of Christ walk in the knowledge and authority that God has given to them and strengthen its members through the ministry of God’s Word. Those who hear her practical message will become challenged to be all that God desires them to be. Pamela’s first book, A Wife’s Prayer, was also published by Whitaker House.

Editorial Reviews

“I absolutely love Pastor Pamela Hines! She has blessed me and my marriage through her book A Wife’s Prayer, which was used as a guide for a wives’ Bible study that I’m involved in. She also served as a keynote speaker for my retreat called Treasure You, where women were touched and inspired by her message on prayer. It was life-changing!”
—Pat Smith, wife of former NFL star Emmitt Smith


“Pastor Pamela Hines is a true woman of God you can follow because she leads by example. She exudes godly character and living in every way. Pastor Pam has had a permanent impact on my life primarily because of her unconditional love toward me and everyone I have seen her encounter. The love that she has shown her husband, family, and others is extraordinary—a rare find. If only we all could believe in what she has to say. It is remarkable that everyone gets to experience her counsel, wisdom, experience, and advice in The Fabric of a Woman: Investing in You—Body, Soul, and Spirit. Having the book is like having the counsel of a best friend, mother, and spiritual guide all in one at your fingertips. Read this book; use it in
your daily living. Any woman who takes her counsel will get more than she expects. Get ready, world; the bona fide woman is back in style!”
—Twyla Betha, wife of pastor and artist Mason Betha


“I have known Pamela for over fifteen years. Since that time to the present, she has mirrored the embodiment of Christ and exemplified grace as a wife, patience as a mother, and dedication as a minister of the gospel.”
—Evangelist Louise D. Patterson, wife of the late Presiding Bishop Gilbert Earl Patterson, Church of God in Christ, Inc.


“Pastor Pam has been such a light in my life—she has taught me many things that I never experienced growing up. One thing that stands out above all else is her compassion and heart for God’s people. I was never a person who cared that much about anything or anyone. But I have learned, through watching her and through praying, that our goal on this earth is to be like God. Pastor Pam’s heart and personality are like none other. I strive every day to have a heart like hers—a heart that is close to God’s.”
—Nina Hines, daughter-in-law of Pamela Hines


“Pam and I have been friends for more than twenty years, and I can remember many of the good times that we have shared. We would meet for coffee most mornings after dropping our children off at KinderCare. That would be our quiet time before starting the day.

“Then there were the times we would drive into Chicago (my hometown), and we would sing along to tapes of our favorite songs. Every time one of us messed up, we would start the song over until we got it perfect, or, should I say, at least got all the words right. So, sometimes, we would play one song over and over again for over ninety miles.

“I also remember when Christian Faith Fellowship was founded; my family and I were among the first to join.

“Pam is a wonderful friend with whom I shared many birthdays, heart-to-heart talks, and countless good times. I can truly say that Pam is a wonderful example of a wife, mother, friend, and, most of all, woman of God.”
—Vonnie Cummings, friend
