👎 Skip It
A 1979 church administration guide by a respected Baptist organization leader, this was likely useful in its day for ministry professionals managing volunteers. Nearly fifty years later with no updates and no verifiable online reception, it is primarily a historical artifact — there are far more current resources for church leaders.
