Rekindled: Rising from the Ashes of Burnout,
by Donald E. Demaray, could save your life. It could
rescue your marriage and
reignite your passion for
life and ministry. Demaray's
sage and eminently practi-
cal counsel could make the
difference in keeping your
job or returning to new
levels of fulfillment in your
vocation. When the fire of
passion is smothered by cir-
cumstance or slowly cooled
by the sheer dailyness of
life's demands, here is help.
Pastor, professor and
counselor, the author
is senior professor of
preaching emeritus
at Asbury Theological
Seminary. His prescrip-
tions are biblically based,
psychologically informed and breathe a refreshing
spiritual optimism. Easily digestible daily portions
are formatted for 13 weeks of reflection and renewal,
each ending with the affirmation: "Rekindled? Yes!"
From seeking the central source of healing in God,
to facing up to burnout, guilt, depression, business
and boredom with humor and creativity, the book
explores a remarkable range of resources for renewal
illumined by real life stories drawn from many years
of helping others rise from the ashes, rekindle
their passion and renew their first love.

atherine Booth's achieve-
ments--as a revivalist,
social reformer, champion
of women's rights,
and, with her husband
William Booth, co-founder
of The Salvation Army--
were widely recognized in
her lifetime. John Read's
new book, Catherine
Booth: Laying the Theolog-
ical Foundations of a Radi-
cal Movement
, re-examines
the ongoing impact of
her beliefs on Salvationist
spirituality. Major Read, the
Army's ecumenical officer
for the United Kingdom
and Republic of Ireland, examines the implicit theol-
ogy that undergirds Catherine Booth's Salvationist
spirituality. In so doing he reveals the ethical concerns
at the heart of Booth's understanding of salvation and
the integral relationship she saw between the social
and evangelical aspects of Christian mission. Catherine
Booth emerges as a significant figure from the Victorian
era, a British theologian and church leader with a rare
if not unique intellectual and theological perspective.
Her view of the church paved the way for the Army to
emerge and led to creative and innovative mission.

In life, redemption was walking up the down escalator:
stop to congratulate yourself, and back you slid.

We can be redeemed only to the extent
to which we see ourselves.
