“Most pastors and churches have settled for ministry done by the few and observed by the many. Aaron Perry has given practical and pragmatic ways for those who dare to recover the full-body ministry of the body of Christ. It is theologically sound, engagingly written, and eminently useful.”
“In a Christian world that is increasingly professionalized, Aaron gives us a much needed nudge toward organic, lay-centered ministry that is relational through and through.”
“Theologically wise, practical, and complete, this book will give fuel to any pastor who wants to grow and support laborers for the advance of the gospel.”
