This book is a must-read for anyone in the ministry who deals with depression, anxiety or burnout. It puts the handle on many of the emotional pressures that people in ministry can feel and enables one to realize that they are not the only one who goes through "stuff". To see how Loren went through the "valley" and came out the other side being more equipped to minister to others is encouraging. God bless you, Loren, for sharing your personal experiences in such a candid way!
EVERY CHRISTIAN NEEDS TO READ THIS BOOK!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book opened my eyes. Put understanding to the Why's in my life. As I read this book I felt like the Author was talking about me, my life. It spoke to those places in my life where I have always had questions like "why me God" or "Why not me God". This book brought places that were racing inside of me to a stop and awakened other places that were asleep. Loren Sandford's book is a MUST for every Christian who believes they have a "Calling" on their lives, big or small. It blessed me beyond measure. If you read no other book this year, do not let this one pass you by.
This author knows what I've been going through!

"Burnout" describes what I have been going through: isolation from people and, most importantly, God - just not able to hear His voice or feel His power. Loren Sandford explains that all this is from God - that He is doing something deeper than I ever realized! He is taking me through a dessert to cleans and strengthen me. And the way Loren describes the events in his own life makes me feel that if he did it, I can stick it out until God takes me through and out the other end. A very important book for my life.
