Book Review: Christopher Ash’s “Zeal without Burnout”
To avoid burnout, Ash reminds us that we are not God. Unlike God, we need sleep, days off, friends, refreshment (inward renewal). We need to avoid the trap of seeking renown and glory.

Finally, we need to delight in the grace of being in a saving relationship with God, and not in his gifts.
