Beyond Burnout

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Dr. Smith takes on the provocative issue of moral injury among clergy, including the difficult matter of what to do when those inflicting the injury are well-intentioned yet unaware. This book is well suited to our times, where pastors frequently have to choose between naming injustice and keeping the peace. Beyond Burnout is certain to make a significant positive difference for clergy and church leaders alike.”

Stories of Bearing

Fiction

“Dr. Smith makes his series on moral injury personal in this collection of stories. They are quiet and reflective and don’t feature heroes, villains, or dramatic plots; rather, they illustrate the ambiguity and complexity of leadership in churches, or any institutions, populated by well-meaning people—but where the concept of moral injury is not taken into account. You will not find easy answers in these pages, but you will encounter truth.”
