Review Quotes:
"Resilience and burnout are big issues in work and ministry at present. In the field of Christian ministry the statistics of burnout seem alarmingly high and the focus on building resilience is both urgent and important. Kirsten Birkett has provided a great service by sharing her research into these areas in her latest book Resilience: A Spiritual Project." Dave McDonald, The Gospel Coalition, Australia
