Anne Jackson's new book, Mad Church Disease should probably be a "must read" for every pastor and/or pastor's family member. Anne does a great job of discussing the challenges faced by pastors and their families, but she doesn't stop there. She explains the causes and effects of ministry burn-out and gives some great strategies to avoid it. If you feel you're already caught in the throes of burn-out, she shines a light on the path to recovery. I'm not finished with the book, but I'd recommend it for what I've read so far. Anne is up-front, honest, and real, but she refuses to wallow in self-pity. The book is helping me. I think it will help you, too.

Thanks for the thoughts! Hope you enjoy the rest of the book.
I hadn't heard of this one...I'll have to check it out.
My book just came yesterday. Thanks for keeping us alerted to good books out there. It must have something to do with that whole "equipping the saints" thing you do.
Have a blessed day!
