My Burden Is Light

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Integrating insights from years of practice as a psychotherapist and as a spiritual director, Sue Magrath provides rich content and a healing spirit to My Burden Is Light: A Primer for Clergy Wellness. Because of her experience working with so many clergy, her words have the ring of authenticity and practical applicability. She knows what pastors have to deal with and she speaks directly to them about their role and to their soul. Magrath knows that pastoral ministry in the local church is a tough job; she also knows there are resources and strategies clergy often fail to utilize, including retreats, Scripture, companions, and counselors. I believe this is a realistic and helpful book that will help many pastors.”
