[Isaac Sivils · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not the type of book I normally read, but I appreciated reading the writers experience in the administration of a ministry, and really enjoyed chapters 14 & 15 as I feel they were very applicable to the current state of our church today.

Overall, some practical resources that will help you think through various ministry administrative tasks.

A good overview of what elders and leaders should do to prepare churches to be a more effective instrument in the hands of the Redeemer. Recommended.
