Section #8

Do the following in this order:

Kirk Byron Jones

• Read the introduction and chapters 1-4 in Kirk Jones' Rest in the Storm.
• Write a two or three paragraph summary of each chapter.
• Answer each of these questions in at least two or three paragraphs each. Interact with the reading in such a way that I can see that you have read and understood the assigned reading.
  
  A. How is insufficient self-care a subtle but lethal expression of personal and social violence?
  
  B. What if you don't serve full-time as a pastor of a church, are you less or more prone to burnout? How so?
  
  C. Why do pastors (and other care givers) accept such an overloaded job description?
  
  D. What does Jones mean by "getting to the back of the boat"? Practically speaking how do you do this? How might you improve?
