I like reading the stories of church beginnings (Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire is similar), and this was an enjoyable read about the beginnings of Hayford's ministry. It was also, regarding my own ministry, a timely read for me. You'll find this book especially useful if you're in the beginning stages of a ministry and are in the process of laying the foundations of that ministry (i.e., your philosophy of ministry). I highly recommend this, in other words, to Church Planters.
