Nobody enters Catholic ministry aiming to become jaded. Yet it happens all the time. Ministers often grow calloused and abandon ship. It does not have to be this way. In Surviving Catholic Ministry, Brad Bursa combines his deep experience in the ministry field with insights drawn from Tradition to provide readers a practical escape from burnout. This book challenges ministry leaders to reorder every aspect of their lives and to do so from the inside out. Renewal from the inside out begins by reclaiming baptismal identity. From this core, one can enter more deeply into the interior life, which overflows into primary vocation, then ministry. Those who follow this course will not only survive Catholic ministry but thrive in it.

Reviews for Surviving Catholic Ministry

""I have survived Catholic ministry for over twenty years. If I had a copy of Surviving Catholic Ministry twenty years ago, I could have thrived in those twenty years as well. In any case, whether you are just beginning your ministry or you are a grizzled veteran, this book is an essential manual for not just surviving but actually thriving in your work for the kingdom!"" --Sean Ater, director, Center for the New Evangelization, Archdiocese of Cincinnati ""The Catholic Church is beautiful, but at this unique time in history she is hurting--broken, you could even say. One of the main ways you see this is in the people who work for her; the state of lay ministry is bleak. Surviving Catholic Ministry is a timely response, offering solid principles to help those who might find themselves treading water, beginning with the foundation of a renewed prayer life."" --Jim Beckman, president, Impact Center
