One of the great dangers the church faces today is “leaders running on empty”—spiritually, emotionally, physically, relationally empty. We can deceive others for a time. We can even deceive ourselves for a time, but only for a time.
I agree with Bill Hybels when he writes, “Leading on Empty is a must-read for all leaders.” Wayne Cordeiro allows us inside his painful journey, which led him from emptiness and depression to a new, fuller life and ministry.
Leading on Empty is a well-rounded book that takes the reader from causes to crisis and through the tough, painful choices that can bring recovery. Cordeiro addresses issues of burnout, depression, balance, Sabbath, sabbatical and more.
