This book really does cover all of the aspects of starting and running a moms group wether it be a large one or a small one. It has given me so much inspiration and practical advice on how to as a leader grow leaders. It focuses on the one primary aspect of building relationships which is the key to a successful moms group. This book gives helpful advice on how to facilitate relationships within your group and make it meaningful to the moms that come. I have devoured this book and have also used it as a leadership training resource. The book also has some great sample forms, agendas, and letters to use for administrating and promoting your group. If you are a leader of a moms group you need this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Resource!, September 17, 2007

By	Deven Vasko "devenvasko" (Mobile, AL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Three years ago, I started a homeschool support group and when I recently had a problem, I needed resources from women who had been there and done that. I found it in this one and several others you can find on amazon.

You will not regret having resources in your library!
