Recess: Rediscovering Play and Purpose by Rev. Laurie Haller
In her book Recess: Rediscovering Play and Purpose, Laurie Haller has written with candor and honesty about her ongoing journey to wholeness. Aware that her life in ministry was leading to burnout, she had the courage to seek out time for a three-month leave in order to regain her passion for life. Taking time out sounds appealing and restful. Yet faced with the gift of time and lack of the previous activities in which she invested herself beyond limits, Laurie had to face what each person taking life seriously must encounter: oneself.
