"""Don has written with honesty, courage and humility, addressing the issue of emotional depletion and burnout at a time when pastors are being affected in unprecedented numbers. It has been a privilege to support Don as a mentor for about 8 years, and to rejoice at his recaptured health, vitality and passion to help other pastors. The gauges he presents are particularly helpful for anyone seeking to recover from emotional depletion. I highly recommend this excellent book."" Dr. Keith Farmer Mentor, Principal Emeritus, Australian College of Ministries. Doctor of Ministry, Fuller. ""Don Easton's book, Burnout and Beyond, is personal, timely and refreshing... much needed for the men and women in ministry today. He provides ways to identify the signs of burnout, strategies for coping and building resilience, and hope for coming out stronger on the other side. I'd recommend that every Christian leader, whether currently on the path to burnout or not, read this book. It will help them maintain health, replenish their energy when needed, and reduce the stigma around burnout so they and others are attuned to the signs and can help guide others on the path to healing and replenishment."" Dr. Robert E. Logan Author of An Undivided Heart and The Leadership Difference ""Comprehensive and easy-to-read, Easton's 'Burnout & Beyond' weaves together personal story with a wealth of factual information and practical steps. The great strengths of the book lie in Don's honesty and realism and his consistent grounding in Christian faith. Every phase of dealing with burnout is addressed here: prevention, assessment, immediate and mediumterm responses, recovery and rebuilding. Particularly helpful is his section on creating gauges to track signs relevant to the onset and recovery from burnout. 'Burnout and Beyond' will be tremendously useful for all Christian leaders and for their spouses and friends. Even if you don't think you require this right now, I highly recommend it for vital awareness of an issue that urgently needs to be better understood."" Dr Rick Lewis Author of Mentoring Matters, Chair of Australian Christian Mentoring Network, Founder of Anamcara Consulting ""My friend Don has faithfully served as senior minister with C3 Global for over 30 years and sharing from his own journey brings a book that will help so many. Burnout is a significant problem today. Don's book helps us understand the problem and gives pathways to recover and thrive again. He gives us good news that we can get through whatever we face."" Ps Dr Phil Pringle AOM Global President C3 Church It has been a pleasure working with Don over the past few years. Following his studies at Fuller, he brought back considerable expertise in mentoring people to avoid burnout and stay true to mission. We have been so impressed by his expertise that a wide selection of our senior staff consult regularly with him as part of keeping their professional, spiritual and family life on track. This has now continued for a number of years and is a testimony to his theoretical knowledge, practical knowledge and expertise. All professionals in ministry will benefit from engaging with Don and his work. Rees Davis Executive Principal, King's Christian College"
