"Managing Stress in Ministry is a timely roadmap for Christian workers who yearn to deal with life's challenges in a productive and healthy way. Though levels of stress increase and decrease during the chapters of our life, none of us are immune to the reality of stress. Poorly managed stress can damage or weaken our health, our marriage, our family, and our ministry. We are indebted to David and Lisa Frisbie for skillfully giving us practical tools for Christ-glorifying stress management.”
