This review is from: Church Administration in the Black Perspective (Paperback)

This book was well constructed in 9 powerful and compact chapters. After reading and studying what these authors has to say about the African-American church, pastors and leaders should be pretty much focused and ready to administrate the body in which they have been placed in charge of. Theses authors have left no stones unturned.

There is another text by Floyd Flake that is more appropo.
