A Christian worker retraces her steps during a period of burnout in her life, with the hope that readers too will experience God and His unique way of transforming our lives. The author shares 20 reflections which consist of excerpts from her journals, a meditation on a Bible passage with a possible application, and a prayer response.
Book Excerpt
"Despair commonly stalks the burnout victim. The enveloping mantle of darkness gives a feeling that recovery is a long, long way off. It could be. But it doesn't mean we must live like a beggar rummaging through bins, scrounging for scraps of hope. We are not paupers but children of the King of kings. His heavenly resources are at our disposal. Strength, grace, peace, protection, faith have all been promised. All we need to do is to claim each one for ourselves. And to keep on claiming."

I read this book during those times when I was trying to understand my situation and to recover from it. Burnout is a robber. It robs you of joy, sense of truth and sound perspective. It is so costly. It cost me a lot - career and the life God wants to give me. I recommend this book, especially to career-driven and ministry-driven people. I also thank Dr. Sarthou because my interview with her made me realize I was undergoing burnout.
