Don has done the difficult, personal work of recovery and has created a sustainable rhythm to avoid repeating burnout in his own life. He has also done the hard work of research and professional growth to become a leading voice in his culture and times. Don has years of rich experience in leading other clergy into healthier, sustainable rhythms. Like all great pastors, Don has synthesized complex scholarship, life and ministry leadership experience, and Biblical and theological principles to create a contextualized, practical resource accessible to all. This resource is especially timely given the impact of ministry stress during the global pandemic and whatever the new normal looks like for clergy. Don artfully dispels some of the common myths of ministry burnout and provides invaluable insights and practical advice that can keep pastors from being blindsided and impaired.. - Dr Chris Adams - Flourishing in Ministry project.

"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

"Comprehensive and easy-to-read, Easton's 'Burnout and 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 medium-term 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."
