In A Christian Approach to Work and Family Burnout: Calling, Caring, and Connecting, Thomas V. Frederick and Scott E. Dunbar provide a Christian spiritual model to prevent and cope with burnout caused by the workplace and conflict with family. Coupled with indifference and lack of urgency, burnout eliminates a sense of purposefulness and results in psychological depletion. To counter this, Frederick and Dunbar stress the importance of connecting with God in order to understand intrinsic motivations and redefine work as a calling and means to care for others.

Burnout is endemic within the professions with consequences that impact the individuals who experience burnout, their families and other relationships, as well as the workplace itself. Honoring what has been written by others, A Christian Approach to Work and Family Burnout examines the challenges of workplace stress and burnout from a decidedly Christian perspective. This is accomplished through the way the authors ground the concepts of calling, connecting, and caring within a Christian perspective of the person in relation to their work and their social network. This book is well-written and worth reading.
