Ministry in the Church can take it toll on individuals. I have been working in the church for 11 years now and have come dangerously close to Mad Church Disease.
Unfortunately, others I have known have not been so fortunate. I have watch several friends become engulfed and overwhelmed by the church and its ministry. Burnout is a real and scary occupational hazard for church workers.
If you are interested in helping fight Mad Church Disease, check out a free chapter from Ann Jackson new Book.

I will be getting and reading the whole book when it is release in February 2009.
Don't let your fire for Christ, burn you up.
