Preventing Ministry Burnout: The causes, consequences and cures for burnout.

by J.J. Turner

Every profession is experiencing stress and burnout; few however are experiencing it at the level ministers are. Research reports have documented burnout as a crisis among full-time ministers. Ministers have been called "the walking wounded" because of stress. For some reason many ministers are reluctant or ashamed to admit they are struggling with stress and burnout. Several years ago Dr. J.J. Turner, the author of this book, suffered from a stroke which was brought on by stress. He has dedicated his ministry to helping ministers recognize and deal with stress and burnout. He brings 45-years of ministry to this work as well as years of training preachers. He has a masters and doctorate in counseling. This book is a MUST for every Christian but especially full-time ministers. The 23 chapters contains materials on the burnout of ministers, their wives and children. It would be a welcomed gift by any minister. Every church leader needs to be educated in this important subject.
