Perfect for ministers going through depression
I have stuggled with depression for several years . . . was diagnosed with clinical depression over 11 years ago. Several years ago I found myself on the threshold of depression again.
Found this book, and it was a fresh, honest, open confession and practical guide for recovery of a minster dealing with depression and/or burnout. I have referred this book to all my minister friends.

A Must Read For All Leaders!!!
Leading on Empty: Refilling your tank and renewing your passion
This book is a must read for anyone in leadership, especially those in ministry.
Burnout happens when you keep pushing yourself and donâÂÂt know when to slow down. Ultimately when it you hit it, itâÂÂs too late! Wayne Cordeiro shares about his story of burnout and his recovery in a way that should change the way we view not only our lives but our ministries. He gives very practical tools and tips on how to avoid leading on empty and keep your spiritual tank from being emptied so easily. As a leader you give and give, but you canâÂÂt give what you donâÂÂt have⦠so how do you stay topped up?
As I read this book I had time to do some self-evaluating of areas in my own life. IâÂÂve hit burnout in the past and have put some guardrails around myself to make sure it doesnâÂÂt happen again, but itâÂÂs always a challenge. As life changes, work, family⦠we always need to be evaluating and guarding our hearts and lives. IâÂÂm thankful that Cordeiro was bold enough to share his story and his journey to healing. As leaders itâÂÂs very difficult to admit failure or even admit we need help. WeâÂÂre the ones who help everyone else.
âÂÂLead out of rest and allow your soul to catch up to you. Only then will you be able to put your heart into everything God asks of you. Without rest, you are leading on empty.âÂÂ
So what has God called you to? At the end of the day, thatâÂÂs what matters!
Enjoy the read and be prepared for some life change in the process!!!
