Ministering to the Ministers

The burnout rate among ministers, pastors, and priests is alarming. Many have written about the care required for recovery of spiritual caregivers who lost their spiritual direction. This book addresses the causes of burnout from a unique perspective - how can we promote well-being of spiritual leaders and prevent their burnout? The stakes are too great to wait for the damage of stress to tear apart ministers, families, churches, and communities. There is a way to predict burnout, to shore up the well-being of spiritual leaders and promote their emotional health. This book dissects the attributes of leadership and looks biblically, socially, and psychologically for solutions to burnout.
