“Steve Sonderman is the voice I trust to talk about men’s ministry in the church more than any other. While there are many good voices speaking about men’s issues and ministry, there are few who have themselves grown a strong men’s community in the local church context from the ground up. The architecture described in How to Build a Life-Changing Men’s Ministry, if followed closely, will produce bushels of leaders for your church. I have used these principles myself at Saddleback with great results.”
