I purchased this book after reading a few blog posts from the author. I like her clear and actionable writing style. Highly recommend this book for those interested in church growth. I picked this book up because we regularly have visitors, but aren’t good about following up. I hope to implement the specific plan the author presents.

Obstacles that are real....

The book is excellent. We were able to create a mini work shop to guide our greeting ministry into discipleship mode. Great practical applications.
