“Howard Stone has given a very useful gift to parish ministers and their congregations in this very concise, clearly written, practical, lucidly illustrated book. [His] contribution . . . grows out of the accumulation of practical experience, as well as scholarship.”
“A practical book, this summary of the author's seminars can be an aid in achieving what many pastors speak much of but do little about, i.e., getting the laity active in the ministry of the church.”
