My Wife, Mally Ham, Wrote Home Fires

But Master Books, the publisher of many of my books, wanted Mally to write a book about her life and how she’s supported me in ministry, how she’s coped, and what lessons she has learned that could be a help to others.

So after putting as much pressure on her as President Trump put on Iran, we worked out a way for her to do this. One of our writers, Avery Foley, sat with Mally and recorded her as she told her story! Avery then put it all together, keeping Mally’s words and turning them into what I believe is a powerful book. It is captivating, emotional, convicting, and very personal. And yes, she does tell some family secrets! I’ve had people tell me they want to read it just to find out more about “Kenny” Ham (when you read the book, you will understand).

We had a number of well-known Christians read the manuscript. Here are just some of the statements they sent to us:

Insightfully written; replete with biblically sound counsel for young women who find themselves engaged in ministry alongside their husbands. Mally ignores the low-hanging fruit and concentrates on the root of marital oneness in ministry. She doesn’t sugarcoat but rather goes to the heart of our ultimate commitment, which is to our Lord and Savior. . . .

Her wisdom is what is needed in a world where young women are no longer sure of what their roles should be in our society. She reminds us women of our godly purpose/calling as we strive to be keepers of our homes, mothers, and supportive wives, and she fiercely defends our God-given right and ability to do so.

In a world where the mantra is me, myself, and I, Mally reminds us that it should be God first, others, then ourselves.

Wife of the late Voddie Baucham

We thank God that Mally surrendered to the pressure of writing this excellent book. It is a beautiful book portraying her life alongside of her husband as it recounts how much God played a role in her life as well as his. The world has benefitted from their lives and continues to be blessed by their obedience. Psalm 37:5 describes their lives perfectly.

— Pastor Jack and Lisa Hibbs,
Calvary Chapel Chino Hills

Well-known Christian author, podcaster, and speaker Heidi St. John wrote the foreword. Here is a section from that:

In a world that often celebrates the loud, the visible, and the instantly viral, Mally Ham stands as a quiet treasure—a woman whose life whispers the beautiful truth that God delights in using the ordinary, the shy, and the unseen to accomplish the extraordinary.

I love Mally Ham. She’s the real deal—and in the pages that follow, I have a feeling you will come to see her, like Ken does, as the “real” VIP at Answers in Genesis. . . .

Mally will insist that she’s not an author—but I disagree. Avery writes Mally’s story beautifully—but God is the one who deserves the credit for what you are about to read.

In the pages ahead, you’ll see for yourself how Mally does far more than recount history. She opens her heart to teach timeless biblical truths on parenting, marriage, and faithfulness in ministry, while gently calling every reader (and reminding herself!) to finish well. This is not a book for spectators; it is a roadmap for those who long to walk humbly with their God, trusting that He who began a good work will be faithful to complete it.

One of our staff members who read the manuscript said, “I think this will outsell all your books.” I had already thought the same thing! And I pray it does.
