What some readers
say…
FROM
A NURSE:
"I am writing to say thank
you...
I have not been able
to work since January because I have been suffering from exhaustion. Both physical and
emotional. I experienced
severe physical symptoms and after all my tests showed no abnormal results, my
doctor eventually diagnosed depression and anxiety. I found this very hard to
accept…
Rest and counseling
was the treatment advised, but initially I was very frightened and confused
about what was happening to me. It was then that I received a copy of your
reflections as a ‘stress victim’. I can’t tell you how much relief I felt when I
read your account. I was so reassured by the things you had written and the
words served me as a map to get my bearings in the scary and unfamiliar
territory which I was now traveling.
Not only did you help
me understand what was happening to me…But you also gave me a realistic
expectation about how long my recovery may take. In fact it was through your
writing that I found the ‘hope’ to recover.
Your reflections
enabled me to see my experience as an opportunity to know God
more.”
FROM A DOCTOR /
FORMER TENTMAKER:
“Thank you so much for
your lovely book- It has come at just the right time and as I read it God has
really used it to help me. Many tears but also much blessing
too. It was full of fresh things for me. God will bless you and use this
book to help many, burnt out or not. Thank you for your honesty, the chapter with the charred and broken vessel, the
realization of pride and God's release from it are very powerful. God's love and
kindness shine through, as does your own obedience. It is so easy to let my
pride get in the way especially in the business of re-entry. Not only does your
book speak of burn out but also to anyone involved in cross-cultural
work.”
FROM A
MISSIONARY:
“I am encouraged by
your openness and honesty. Reading it confirmed my decision to say NO to
teaching another course next semester. I am enjoying
teaching. But with my spiritual mentoring of ladies and with a lot of pressure to finish all my academic
requirements for my doctoral studies by
next year, I just have to be ruthless in saying NO. I do not want to
experience burnout.”
