5.0 out of 5 stars A most helpful look at small churches!, January 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Activating Leadership in the Small Church: Clergy and Laity Working Together (Small Church in Action) (Paperback)

This author looks at small churches and helps the reader to see that they're a different critter than their larger cousins. They have different characteristics, different behaviors, and different needs. Burt writes with an easy style and uses plenty of helpful "folksy" illustrations to make his points.

This review is from: Activating Leadership in the Small Church: Clergy and Laity Working Together (Small Church in Action) (Paperback)

It's about time somebody spoke a good word for our small churches. For too long they've been treated like the poorer cousins, the second class citizens, when they're really something altogether different. Dr. Burt has surely shown himself to be a champion for the cause in this book, and his suggestions and ideas are appropriate to the small church. Liked his stories and illustrations, too, because they made this easy to understand. The book also has an outstanding Annotated Bibliography listing other helpful books on small church topics.
