Learning: "Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership" by Ruth Haley Barton
About the Book
Spiritual Practices for Burnt Out Leaders: "I'm tired of helping others enjoy God―I just want to enjoy God for myself."
With this painful admission, Ruth Haley Barton invites spiritual leaders into an honest exploration of what happens when they lose track of their souls. Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership weaves together contemporary illustrations with penetrating insights from the life of Moses to help ministry leaders care for their own souls so that they may in turn minister well to others.
Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership explores topics including:
responding to the dynamics of calling
facing the loneliness of leadership
leading from your authentic self
cultivating spiritual community
discerning God's will together
Each chapter includes a spiritual practice to ensure your soul gets the nourishment it needs. Barton shows that forging and maintaining a life-giving connection with God is the best choice you can make for yourself and for those you lead.
