The Vine And The Heart Of Man

Poured Out, Not Destroyed explores the biblical relationship between self-care and self-sacrifice, showing that they were never meant to oppose one another. Through the life of Jesus, Scripture, and practical pastoral insight, Lionel van der Merwe explains how believers can rest, receive care, honour their God-given limits, and still live lives of costly love and surrender. This book helps readers distinguish faithful sacrifice from people-pleasing, burnout, abuse, and self-sabotage. It is a powerful guide for anyone who wants to serve God and others wholeheartedly without losing the life, health, relationships, and calling God has entrusted to them.

A necessary and honest book for leaders and helpers who carry too much in the name of ministry. It calls readers back to humility, healthy service, dependence on God, and the truth that only Christ can save.

A global look at revivals, awakenings, and the people God used throughout history. This book stirs hunger for renewed spiritual life and fresh surrender to God.
