I totally enjoyed this book. It's fun to read, easy to read, and packed with ideas that make one think of things to do in thier own community.

John Maxwell produced a study guide entitled: 5 things they didn't teach me in Seminary, namely practical people and church management issues. I love Tim's book because it goes a three steps further with dozens of one page practical insights, keys, techniques for growing your church. We often talk to other pastors to hear what they are doing, attend seminars, but this book lays it all out. I never learnt any of this stuff in Bible school (because the lecturers were often not pastors of growing churches) but I have learnt some of it through trial and error. It has been painful at times. Why re-invent the wheel, learn from others mistakes. Brilliant
