Pastor Charles Stone's upcoming book, 5 Ministry Killers and How to Defeat Them, due in May 2010, focuses on how to overcome and defeat Pastoral burnout, frustration, and depression. Using previously unpublished, commissioned research from the Barna Group, LifeWay and Christianity Today, Pastor Charles Stone uses his thirty years in the ministry to identify five potent killers in pastors’ lives and shows how to defeat them to regain the hope and enthusiasm they once had for ministry. The book also includes a section, written by Pastor Stone's wife, about minimizing the draining effect ministry places on a Pastor and his Wife.
