Many people engaged in Christian ministry (paid or unpaid) find themselves forced to take a step back. They have not lost their love for Christ, nor their desire to serve him. But for some reason they are exhausted and just can’t go on.

Christopher Ash knows this experience all too well. As the pastor of a growing church and then in his role of training people for the ministry, he found himself on the verge of burnout many times, and pastored many young ministers who were in end of the roll.

His wisdom has been distilled into this short, accessible book, in which he reveals an overlooked biblical truth and seven keys to it. These practical, biblical tips will help enthusiastic Christians develop the mindset and lifestyle necessary to protect themselves from burnout and serve Jesus long-term in a sustainable way.

Who is this book addressed to?
Here is Christopher’s response in the introduction:
“I write for all zealous followers of Jesus. Perhaps most especially for pastors and Christian leaders ~ for those charged with pastoral oversight under God. Some of us are privileged to be freed from other jobs to dedicate to this work; others combine pastoral leadership with “normal” secular work. But I also write for the many enthusiastic Christian men and women who, in addition to “normal” life ~ busy, parenting, and so on ~ work sacrificially to serve in their local churches.”
