good value

incredible price for this book. helpful for clergy and trainees. brings out the dark side of ministry to alert folks. pulls no punches. recommend for any clergy and training clergy library

No minister should be without it!

This book is wonderful. It shows you why ministers burn out and what to do about it. It was very healing to my heart and spirit. I highly recommend getting it for yourself and others. Sometimes it's hard to admit that we might be struggling with feelings that don't seem very Godly and we tend to deny and ignore them. This book gets to the heart of what happens without a bunch of condemnation or accusation. A definite must read for anyone who has been in active ministry. If you don't need it now, you will most likely need it in the future.

Ministry Burnout

I found the book to be very practicle in its language and concept. It is a good read and one that pastors and congregations would benefit from reading
