How do we manage to reach our full potential without burning out?

Kate Middleton’s biblical self-help book will help readers to identify understand the dangers of stress and offers practical tips to reduce and manage stress in a biblical way.Kate Middleton is a church leader and psychologist and part of the leadership team of Mind and Soul.
