5.0 out of 5 stars For Christians facing burnout, this is must reading., December 10, 1998
By A Customer
This book is practical, readable, and worthwhile. Even if you're so burned out you can hardly face another book, this one is worth the time! Lots of case histories and real life examples, so you know the authors have dealt with real people. Very solid biblical foundation. Non-technical explanations make it easy reading for anyone. Solid, practical suggestions for avoiding or escaping burnout. This is two books put together in one volume. Reading this book helped me identify the strengths and weaknesses, as well as the potential hazards of my own personality type. Best book on the subject I've seen.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Christians Wanting to Avoid or Recover from Burnout, July 25, 2006

This book offers two best-sellers in one volume, a potent double dose of medicine for the overwhelming stress that leads to the complete physical, mental and spiritual exhaustion that can destroy your life. You will get a clear analysis of the cause and symptoms of burnout and a lasting solution that is firmly based on biblical truth.

You can't escape stress, but you can keep it from getting you down. With the powerful guidance found in this book, you will be able to rediscover your passion for life, enjoy your relationships and accomplishments, and learn how to really relax. This is your ultimate roadmap to recovery.

2.0 out of 5 stars Tedious for those not reading the Bible daily, December 25, 2001
By Dr. Eduard Van Kleef (Berlin, Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Your view of this book is likely to depend on your religious outlook on life. The book is full of Bible-Quotes. It uses biblical personalities and settings as examples for burnout and the things that bring burnout about. Of those examples that do not figure biblical personalities, at least half have some strong connection to the church.

Personally, I feel that a book that deals with a clinical psychological issue, such as burnout, should rely on academic research and reasoning. That is missing here. Time and again the bible is taken as the source of all truth and the author's interpretation as our guiding line for doing things in life. Especially the latter makes it very difficult reading for people with academic training who are used to take a critical view of unsubstantiated statements.
