    About this audiobook

    Largely due to overwork and the stresses of modern life, men in work and ministry are increasingly run-down, anxious, and depressed. But is this level of physical and spiritual weariness inevitable? Just as a car needs to be regularly refueled, retuned, and repaired in order to keep running, a balanced life can be sustained only when a man takes proper steps to stay on track. In this hopeful book, experienced pastor and counselor David Murray shares stories from his own life and the lives of friends, offering gospel-centered advice for avoiding, assessing, and recovering from burnout. With chapters on rest, relationships, routines, and more, this book lays out a host of practical remedies men can use to reset their lives on a more sustainable course-resulting in renewed energy, joy, and purpose.

      A great listen with lots of helpful insight and advice. Even though I no longer consider myself a formally religious person, there is enough in this book that makes it worth a listen. Hearing a discussion about burnout from a religious perspective was actually quite interesting.
    • 1/5
      Book is written only for men because “women experience burnout differently from men.”. Wastes 7 minutes in the introduction to hear that; moving on to better thought out solutions.
    • 5/5
      A very practical book for middle aged pastors and Christian men. We don’t have to live on the fringes of burn out. The grace paced life is doable, but we need these reminders. I highly recommend this book to my pastor friends.
    • 4/5
      Reset: Living a Grace-Paced Life in a Burnout Culture is one of the most helpful Christian living books I’ve read in a long time. David Murray has experienced burnout in his pastoral life to the point of affecting his health. He brings a wealth of wisdom to the subject. This book isn’t just for pastors. It’s valuable for all Christians who feel worn down and exhausted by life.Murray structures the book around the concept of taking your car to the garage. Each chapter is a “repair bay.” Murray quotes Brady Boyd from Addicted to Busy , “Ultimately, every problem I see in every person I know is a problem of moving too fast for too long in too many aspects of life.” Murray is not calling for Christians to drop out of service and kick their feet up. He is calling for them to take care of themselves, so that they can serve well.Murray says that many people’s fundamental and foundational error is we forget a fundamental and foundational truth—God is our Creator. He writes:Lots of people call God Creator, but live like evolutionists. It’s as if life is about the survival of the fittest rather than about living like a dependent creature—trusting or Creator rather than ourselves—and according to our Maker’s instructions.Reset: Living a Grace-Paced Life in a Burnout Culture is well researched. Murray pulls valuable insight from a variety of sources, but frames it all with scripture and God’s instruction for how we are to take care of ourselves. I highly recommend this book and look forward to follow-up he is writing with his wife.
