About this book

Exhaustion and burnout is experienced by many people who are involved in Christian ministry, sometimes to the extent that they simply cannot carry on.

Christopher Ash knows this experience all too well. As a pastor of a growing church, and in his role training people for ministry, he has been on the edge of burnout a number of times, and has pastored many younger ministers in similar situations.

His wisdom has been distilled into this short, accessible book, in which he reveals seven keys to avoiding burnout that flow from recognising our human fragility and the necessity of depending on God. His practical and biblical guidance will help enthusiastic Christians ...

Conclusion

Endorsements

In this marvellous and much-needed book, Christopher Ash manages to warn, encourage, expose and comfort in equal measure. Every page is humane, penetrating, rich, wise and above all, gospel-saturated. This book came to me as a word in season from a humble brother (and the other brothers and sisters who shared their stories), and I am sure God will use it to do the same for many, many others.

Gary Millar Principal, Queensland Theological College, Australia; author of Saving Eutychus

Books like this are a needed resource for the weary pastor. Christopher Ash draws on years of personal experience and rich biblical wisdom to provide ministers with a tremendously encouraging resource to persevere and thrive in the ministry. This is a book all pastors need to read and take to heart for the sake of their church and for the sake of the fruitfulness of their ministry.

Dr R. Albert Mohler Jr President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

As a pastor of 12 years and no longer young, I praise God for Christopher
Ash’s self-disclosing cry that we are but dust! We live moment by moment as
frail beings given health and strength by our sovereign Father, but those
are limited by his grace so that we never forget that he is God, not us,
and that we are constructed so as to need him rather than to replace him.
May this book help us end the corporate church conspiracy to seem stronger
than we are, even omnipotent, and leave us content to keep being wisely
weak and daily dependent until Jesus returns.

5.00 stars Fast service right from the start to when I received my book, will use them again in the fjture

 

Fast service

5.00 stars A great book for the servant-hearted!

 

Being passionate for the Gospel can so easily lead to taking on too much and burning the candle at both ends. Christopher Ash provides wise simple advice, and more often than not reminders, that we aren't superheroes, but weak humans. If you're an employer, employed or an essential volunteer; just thinking of serving or an old hand, this is a great book to read. Thank you Christopher.

5.00 stars Excellent for every Christian

 

Such helpful guidance and advice from God through Christopher Ash. Even if you're not in busy Christian work this is for you. Just as a normal, everyday member of a church, this book is vital for you to read so that you can be helped and help others. Small enough to read quickly and pass on or even share in a study group. Thanks to God for inspiring this book.
