Lots of people who are involved in Christian ministry (whether paid or unpaid) find themselves having to step back from it. They have not lost their love for Christ, or their desire to serve him. But for one reason or another, they are exhausted and simply cannot carry on. Christopher Ash knows this experience all too well. As a pastor of a growing church, and then in his role training people for ministry, he has found himself on the edge of burnout a number of times, and has pastored many younger ministers who have reached the end of their tether. His wisdom has been distilled into this short, accessible book, in which he reveals a neglected biblical truth and seven keys that flow from it. This practical and biblical guidance will help enthusiastic Christians gain the mindset and lifestyle to protect themselves from burnout and serve Jesus for the long term in a sustainable way.

Christopher Ash, Zeal Without Burnout: Seven Keys to a Lifelong Ministry of Sustainable Sacrifice // There is always more we can do in ministry, but God is not asking 'Can you do more?'. He is asking 'Do you love me?' Some of those extras are not always as vital as we think them to be. Christopher Ash, Zeal Without Burnout: Seven Keys to a Lifelong Ministry of Sustainable Sacrifice //
No astonishing new insights here -- just helpful reminders that a person needs to pace himself/herself to avoid reaching a place where you just shut down and quit. Often that perilous condition sneaks up on us unaware, so the time to pay attention is now. Most helpful for me was the simple reminder that while it is a privilege to be... A little book packed with practical wisdom that would benefit a new pastor as well as a long-serving Sunday School teacher. If you're involved in ministry, whether at the pastoral level or otherwise, you need to read this book. If you're too busy to read it, then you REALLY need to read it. I'm sure I cannot recommend it highly enough, other than to say that by God's grace it may have saved my ministry.
