Letting Go of the Chaos: Ideas for Addressing Ministry-Related Stress is a straightforward and candid look at the inevitable stresses that often mark our days in ministry. This creative and practical approach to "letting go of the chaos" provides wisdom, insight, and a host of helpful ideas that are sure to lift burdens, loosen tight grips, and restore a sense of well-being. The weaving of story, Scripture, reflection, and questions is both engaging and insightful and will be pondered again and again.

It is very clear that the practical and helpful advice in this book comes from someone who has lived in and survived the chaos of ministry. Shepp's insights are a must-read for any person who has ever felt they are stretched too thin or do not have time for a life beyond their ministry! The prayers that end each section of the book, alone, can help bring hope and healing to any stressed-out minister.
