The title consists of 30 articles from 30 Christian leaders encouraging churches to improve church training and motivation through various methods. The book focuses on 6 major areas: mission, selection, training, church board, individuals, and congregations.

Among the important points covered include:

1. The difference between being passionate and driven.
2. Selecting good leaders is the key for effective ministry.
3. Find and equip people first, then find a ministry for them.
4. Gratitude is a greater motivator than guilt.
5. 5 good measures to determine if someone is ready to lead.
6. 4 reasons a pastor needs to commit to leadership development.
7. 3 basic principles for settling church conflicts.
8. Ways to bring out the best in your church board members.
9. A healthy board has trust, teamwork, and courage.
10. 4 steps to transform pewsitters into participants.

While none of the articles really do not contain any new earth-shattering thoughts or concepts, they do contain plenty of helpful reminders of basic insights into church training. Such reading can help us remember that people are more important than programs - an idea we may often forget in the busyness of church activity.

Read and enjoy. Highly recommended!
