by Paul L. Jr. Jakes (Author)

No One is Exempt from Depression, Not Even the Pastor!Millions of people turn to clergy and religious leaders during times of anguish and depression. However, where can these amazing pillars of the community turn when they need help? Oftentimes, they elect not to turn to anyone, afraid that reaching out for help will bring judgment on their Christian walk. Pastor Paul Jakes has served as a pastor for over 27 years and knows first-hand the stress that accompanies the job of being a shepherd of God's people. Also, having served as a mentor, friend and confidant to many clergy members, he knows that those who serve in the ministry are not exempt from the struggles of depression and stress. In these essays, Pastor Jakes addresses depression among pastors and solutions for effective stress management. Don't allow yourself or a pastor that you care about to be left behind.
