When the Soul Runs Dry: Surviving American Burnout

When the Soul Runs Dry: Surviving American Burnout is a faith-centered guide for readers who feel worn down by work, stress, isolation, and the relentless pace of modern life. Drawing on the realities of burnout in America, Jwanna Savoie-Powell helps readers recognize the emotional, physical, and spiritual signs of depletion and understand why exhaustion often hides behind productivity, competence, and constant busyness.

For spiritually curious readers seeking hope and practical renewal, this book offers a compassionate invitation to healing and a more life-giving way forward.
