Book Synopsis Planning Sabbaticals by : Robert C. Saler
Download or read book Planning Sabbaticals written by Robert C. Saler and published by Chalice Press. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sabbaticals are becoming increasingly common practice in congregations, and while there are many books on helping pastors prepare for their time away, there are no texts that approach the experience with the congregation in mind, from start to finish. This guide for congregations and their pastors draws on nearly two decades of wisdom from the Lily Endowment Clergy Renewal Program and helps draw the conversation away from a pastor-centric model and towards a holistic congregational framework for thinking about how the entire community can benefit from a pastor’s sabbatical.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Time to reflect. Time. This is what clergy renewal is about. To continue in ‘the heat of work’ our whole career is to rob ourselves and our congregations of the time we and they need to reflect on our lives and our call. Here is where change begins.” - Melisa Bane Sevier “Melissa Bane Sevier – fresh from (and refreshed by) a much-needed sabbatical – offers personal testimony, practical advice, and an array of helpful resources that will inspire and empower pastors to seek and then to drink deeply of a time apart. This is a moving statement from and on behalf of our hard-working clergy, written for them but also for those who care about their well-being and that of the congregations they serve.” - Dorothy C. Bass - Author, Receiving the Day: Christian Practices for Opening the Gift of Time “Vital congregational ministry depends on the leadership of pastors, priests, and rabbis whose hearts sing with vision, creativity, faith, competence, and passion. In Journeying toward Renewal Melissa Sevier uses her pastoral sensitivity to tell her own renewal story and the stories of those who have been lead in the planning and practice of renewal leave by the question “What will make my heart sing – again?” Whether you’re planning an extended time of renewal leave, or just trying to bring regular sabbath time back into your days and weeks, this book will be a trustworthy guide.” - Richard Bruesehoff - Director for Leadership Support, ELCA - Co-author of Clergy Renewal: The Alban Guide to Pastoral Sabbaticals

Book Synopsis The Art of the Sabbatical by : Cady North
Download or read book The Art of the Sabbatical written by Cady North and published by Manuscripts LLC. This book was released on 2024-05-03 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For too long, we’ve been participating in “hustle culture” which says if we’re not moving and achieving, we’re not enough. Sometimes, the only way to release ourselves from this exhausting feedback loop is to take a break from work. Sabbaticals provide time and space for a reset and can give us energy to launch something new, adjust priorities, or rediscover passions. Most people would love to take an extended sabbatical, but the truth is, you probably haven’t made a plan to address fears that arise the moment you step away from full-time work. Informed by case studies and personal experience, The Art of the Sabbatical tackles questions like: --How will I afford this? --What will my family or colleagues think of me, and how do I create a support system? --How do I get the most out of my sabbatical? --How do I return to the workforce and communicate with future employers? You can have a transformational work break, whether it’s something you’ve been dreaming about for months, or it sprung up as something unplanned or out of your control. This illuminating guidebook is filled with thoughtful insights and journal prompts which will give you the courage and resources to design your life-changing sabbatical.

Book Synopsis The Academic Sabbatical by : Timothy Sibbald
Download or read book The Academic Sabbatical written by Timothy Sibbald and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Academic Sabbatical: A Voyage of Discovery is a collection of narratives that reveals how important sabbaticals are to faculty and, by extension, to higher education. This in-depth look at the diverse experiences and perspectives provides a wealth of evidence that sabbaticals are instrumental in increasing productivity in terms of research and knowledge dissemination. These periods of self-directed and focused work enable scholars to restore their academic energies, leading to enhanced engagement with their programs, graduate students, and intellectual exchange among peers. Although not without challenges and tensions, sabbaticals help academics build stronger and deeper connections. While this book stands alone in promoting the richness and potential of the sabbatical as a structural feature of the academy, it is a great follow-up to The Academic Gateway and Beyond the Academic Gateway, which respectively discuss the tenure-track and tenure experience. This book is the third in the Lives in the Canadian Academic Landscape triptych.

Book Synopsis A Sabbatical Primer for Pastors by : David C. Alves
Download or read book A Sabbatical Primer for Pastors written by David C. Alves and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-02-19 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you noticed the toll modern ministry is taking on our pastors? Pastoral fatigue and burnout cost the church more than just money; it costs lives, drying up the pastoral pool. More pastors and church leaders leave ministry today than in the history of the Christian Church. And I almost became a statistic. Pastors are in big trouble but have few resources to help. More and more has been written about sabbaticals, yet few comprehensive, but simple, guidebooks are available to assist a pastor to initiate and maximize the gift of his or her pastoral sabbatical. This primer is designed to take a pastor through the sabbatical from conception to conclusion. This book contains more than was available to me when I took both my first and second sabbaticals. Though not exhaustive, the contents should accomplish the purpose of a primer on spiritual sabbaticals. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING: “What a wise and winsome invitation to the spiritual practice of sabbatical! But there's more—once you've said yes to the invitation, you will also find a road map for planning and then taking the journey into this oft-unexplored terrain. This is a most helpful offering!” --Dr. Ruth Haley Barton, Founder, Transforming Center, author of Invitation to Solitude and Silence andStrengthening the Soul of Your Leadership “If every beginning minister were given a start-up kit when they began, David Alves' book, would be an essential. It contains the indispensable fundamentals for a long and fruitful ministry. Providing step-by-step guidance, this book could save many from premature erosion that takes place beneath the surface in ministry. I highly recommend this primer for every new and veteran minister who cares about his or her future vitality!” --Dr. Wayne Cordeiro, author of Leading on Empty: Refilling Your Tank and Renewing Your Passion and Senior Pastor of New Hope, Oahu “You will never know how hard it was to keep you boys busy,” my dad acknowledged in a moment of morphine-induced honesty following surgery for colon cancer. “Did it ever occur to you to give us a day off?” my youngestbrother asked. Dad hesitated, but only for a moment — “The thought never crossed my mind.” “Keep busy” buzzes in my head. My daily “to do” list gives an often distorted shape to my day. In A Sabbatical Primer for Pastors, David Alves raises his voice over the buzz. “God is taking you out of the brick making business,” he writes. With frequent references to his own story, David argues that Sabbath and Sabbaticals offer a God-designed way for me to be free from the drivenness that has served as a constant companion since my youth. The Primer troubles me with a question that lingers like the scent of a powerful perfume:which father's voice will shape the remaining years of my life? –Clayton Blackstone, author of Meet Me for Breakfast and Pastor of the Advent Christian Church in Bangor, Maine
Download or read book Clarity Quest written by Pamela Ammondson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What to do if it's time to take stock—and you have no time! Have you ever fantasized about taking time for yourself just to reflect on the quality of your work life? Are you doing what you really want to be doing? Or are you spinning your wheels so fast that you're headed for burnout? And most importantly, is there a way to revitalize and refocus your career to your satisfaction? If you're like most people, that annual vacation doesn't do the trick, and weekends are just a time to collapse before it starts up again on Monday. If you can't afford the luxury of a full-fledged sabbatical, then Clarity Quest is for you. This powerful eight-week "training" program, which culminates in a week of self-discovery, is something that will fit into the busiest of schedules. Pamela Ammondson offers simple exercises to help you: * Break away from career confusion, and let go of old fears * Renew your physical, mental, and emotional energy so that you can think clearly and creatively * Identify your core values * Gain the strength, stamina, and calm needed to make important career and life decisions * Clarify what you really want, and take control of your life with a new sense of purpose and vision For seven weeks, you'll follow the plan, do all the groundwork for your future, and watch your dreams come into focus. When you hit the eighth week, you'll take a week-long sabbatical to fine-tune those goals, recharge your batteries, and commit to making the decisions that will change your life for the better.

Download or read book Time Biases written by Meghan Sullivan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should you care less about your distant future? What about events in your life that have already happened? How should the passage of time affect your planning and assessment of your life? Most of us think it is irrational to ignore the future but completely harmless to dismiss the past. But this book argues that rationality requires temporal neutrality: if you are rational you don't engage in any kind of temporal discounting. The book draws on puzzles about real-life planning to build the case for temporal neutrality. How much should you save for retirement? Does it make sense to cryogenically freeze your brain after death? How much should you ask to be compensated for a past injury? Will climate change make your life meaningless? Meghan Sullivan considers what it is for you to be a person extended over time, how time affects our ability to care about ourselves, and all of the ways that our emotions might bias our rational planning. Drawing substantially from work in social psychology, economics and the history of philosophy, the book offers a systematic new theory of rational planning.
