Pastor to Pastor - with H. B. London, Jr. - Focus on the Family Vacations and Sabbaticals In a world that rewards the hardworking individual, we’re encouraged to feel proud about never taking a day off--or even a vacation. Pastors need to be aware of the dangerous trap of overwork, especially since the lines between work and leisure are already easily blurred. Vacations are wonderful solutions, but how realistic are they? The cost to take an entire family on a summer vacation could potentially break a pastor’s budget. Are there practical ways to take time away and break free from burnout? In this volume, you’ll hear Louis McBurney reveal the physical and emotional dangers of not taking vacations; Marilee Pierce Cundker remind pastors to prioritize time with family away from the ministry; Bob and Sandy Sewell encourage churches to give pastors vacation, education, and sabbatical time; Brian and Angela Janes explain the benefits of affordable home-to-home vacations; Jeff Templeton reveal how pastors can find rest on Christian cruises; Lana Luczy describe the opportunities available through a hospitality ministry; and Joanne Cleaver discloses secrets on how to experience exciting low-budget vacations.
