Stan Toler is senior pastor of Trinity Church of the Nazarene in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and hosts the television program, "Leadership Today." He conducts seminars throughout the U.S. as the Model Church Instructor for INJOY Ministries, a leadership development institute for pastors. He has written over 30 books and is co-author of The Year Round Church Event Book.
Personally, I think this book is fantastic. It gives you a base understanding of practice what is needed. This is definitely a book I will be referencing throughout the ministry. There are a couple of things I don't agree with but not enough to outweigh the good content.
I would recommend this book for sure. Note that my view is as someone wanting to go into ministry and not an experienced minister. I do however believe everyone can learn something from this book.
