About the Book
If you are in ministry of any kind, this book can help you. The book is basically the compilation of experience gained from ministering to some one thousand ministerial couples from some twenty different denominations and six countries during over one hundred Stress In The Ministry conferences. These conferences were week-long conferences designed to help ministers avoid and/or deal with stress and prevent burnout. The book discusses the causes and cures of stress in ministry. Stress is good for you, but distress is bad and can be fatal not only for the minister but also for the ministry.
