Description: Learn to use your off switch for more fulfilling ministry and life!

Clergy are part of a profession like no other. Their vacation requires extraordinary commitment, and many struggle to remain engaged and energized as the pressures of congregational and family commitments takes their toll.

Switch Off: The Clergy Guide to Preserving Energy and Passion for Ministry helps clergy examine their own roles and the roles of people around them. Authors Heather Bradley and Miriam Grogan offer tools to manage the pressures of congregational life, leading to deeper and more sustainable fulfillment in ministry.

Switch Off uses titles (minister, rabbi, pastor) and gender-specific pronouns (he, she) interchangeably, making this book useful in a wide variety of ecumenical settings.

The book examines the challenges clergy most commonly face and uses story vignettes to illustrate possible solutions. In this step-by-step process, readers learn to develop new habits in order to manage others' expectations and to unwind complex personal situations. Switch Off also includes coaching exercises for readers to practice what they learn, plus diagrams and other tools to help readers make real change in their lives.
