Excellent book. Very clear descriptions on how to design a program or agency using a strengths based, outcome oriented approach. How can you solve a problem if you never identified it? What does your target population need, and how do you measure that? In fact, how do you measure if your program is working effectively? Answers and more.

I used this in a seminary class. It's pretty on par for a textbook, in that is what this is. It's not the most flashy thing in the world, but if you'd like to learn more about program planning/managing then this is a good resource!
