Review of “Managing the Congregation”

Managing the Congregation: Building Effective Systems to Serve PeopleI read a ton of books concerning congregational leadership and management.  All of the books I have read on this topic, this one is the best.  It was recommended by Everett Huffard.  I read this book for research into the dissertation I am writing.  This book is one of the best for an eldership, a deacon, and a minister.  It will help with any ministry or congregation.  The material is excellent and well developed.  There is so much great stuff that it is difficult to wrap it all up.  All I can say is “read the book.”  There is another title in this series called “leading the congregation.”  Anyway, for one of the best books for understanding and leading and helping a congregation to grow in number and in influence, this is the title to purchase.
