From the rear cover

How to experience long-term energy, health, and success as a leader

Pastors and ministry leaders are some of the hardest-working people in the world--and they have a high rate of burnout to prove it. Few in ministry feel they have the time to take a sabbatical or tend to their own physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. But healthy rhythms of work and rest are the key to a thriving, long-term ministry.

Putting to work their years of experience as both leaders and consultants, Jason Young and Jonathan Malm show you how to fine-tune your leadership and organize your life in such a way that you can become a high-capacity leader without the exhaustion and discouragement so many feel. They teach you how to set healthy boundaries, release control, operate from your values, and much more in order to burn bright and make a lasting impact without sacrificing your well-being and relationships.
