"A bridge. I was looking for a bridge, the crossing of which would turn knowing about excellent ministry into doing excellent ministry. Coaching Creswell-style has clearly provided that bridge for many Western team members, alumni, and students. If you've been on a search for that bridge, look no further than the biblical, missional, transformational and delightful message of this book. It's not just a must read--it's a must do."
