Summary: Excellent Foundation - Practical Information
Comment: Before I read this book I was uncomfortable in my role as a board member of a 300-member church. Our board wasn't much of a help to our pastor. I had no idea of my responsibilities as a board member and we weren't very effective. We had no formal orientation to bring new members up to speed and our bad habits perpetuated. In a practical way, this book laid the foundation necessary to turn that around. It helped me realize my role and step into it, which helped us lift some of the burdens from our leader. I applaud Mr. Biehl for this work and would highly recommend it to any non-profit board member.

Summary: Not Real Relavant
Comment: This book may be OK if you are on the board of a national or international ministry such as a missions organization or a seminary board. This book was targeting pastors and people on the board for a local church and they really missed their target. There are some good ideasand it breaks things down in detail, and maybe the name of the book could be called "Board Membership for Dummies." It just didn't seem to help me much looking at it for the church.

Rating: 2
Summary: Disappointing
Comment: Superficial in content regarding many aspects of church boardsmanship. I would not recommend for this reason.
