Written for pastors, ministry and marketplace leaders driving multiplication movements, The Soul of a Leader confronts a quiet the slow loss of your soul while you pour your life into the work. Mark Neal names the lie that exhaustion equals faithfulness and offers a different way — soul care rooted in Jesus’ image of the vine and the branches, where fruit comes from connection, not striving. This is not another leadership manual. It is an honest, reflective book, shaped by Mark’s own collapse and recovery, with practical takeaways drawn from every chapter. He writes it because too few leaders finish well, and he refuses to watch another become a statistic. You walk away knowing two you do not have to sacrifice yourself and your family on the altar of ministry, and there is real hope — and a way back — after burnout.
