This book is thorough and informative. I knocked it a bit because I disagree with some of the authors doctrinal stances. The books is also a bit dated and there is very little in it that I felt was groundbreaking. Still, it is a good book for understanding some of the foundations that need to be in place for a singles ministry, and a good source of simple ideas for activities, leadership recruiting, etc. In short, it is thorough, not cutting edge. The main concept I took away was simply having a multi-pronged approach to singles ministry. Meaning, not event should be a social event, but some should; not everything should be spiritual, but some should. Blending the social (fellowship), outreach (evangelistic), spiritual (study and worship), support and service (ministry/service) into a singles ministry helps create balance, and thus an enduring ministry that works toward making disciples. That was my favorite takeaway from this book.
