People-Pleasing Pastors

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Charles Stone is a gift to the body of Christ, and so is his latest book, People-Pleasing Pastors. As I read through the pages I was personally convicted. Who doesn't want validation and appreciation for our efforts? We are human after all, right? But Charles's book reveals the dangers when a healthy need of appreciation goes too far. His extensive research of over twelve hundred pastors gives us insight into what Christian leaders have known intuitively but few talked about—we are serial people pleasers. Thank you, Charles, for highlighting this problem and giving us hope for a solution.”

Stress Less

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Dr. Charles Stone has done it again! He has written a book on emotional and mental health that addresses the issues so many are dealing with. Stress Less will help you just like it helped me. Mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion are at an epidemic level. I know I've personally dealt with it; you likely have as well. Dr. Stone gives us the practical steps needed to regain the strength needed to fulfill our God-given purpose. This book is a must-have for not only you, but probably several people you know.”
