I purchased a number of books on recruiting and managing volunteers, both in religious and secular sectors. I actually left this one for last, to be honest, because the book looked so old and uninviting. It was written in the 80s and I was looking for something that I thought would be more contemporary. I found the book to deal with exactly the same issues that I see in the church today and was surprised at how helpful this text has been to me. (I know, I know, 20 years is not too long ago and these issues are timeless in a sense...guess I'm a sucker for marketing)

The quick summary is that out of all the books I've read on the subject, I'd put this one at the top of my list. Five stars.

I bought six or seven books about volunteers and stewardship. All were good and each has its strengths and weaknesses ... at least for my purposes. Marlene Wilson's book is truly terrific. It that has so much working, practical information compared to the others. This is the book I come back to the most.
