Burnout in church leaders is almost an emotional response to significant pain in the church community. Stress and burnout are commonplace within the ranks of church leaders, the pain is very real and extends out to their families, congregations and the leaders around them. This book examines the issue, breaking it down to the nature of the leader, that of the congregation and leadership styles. The study leads to some recommendations on how to avoid burnout and how to treat the wounded. This book originally shipped with a board game where you had to last a full year in ministry (one complete lap of the board) without burning out.
