The Christian Century
"Carroll combines his own sage insights with the responses of focus
groups to define excellence in ministry and to suggest means to
encourage and sustain it. His section on 'Some Marks of Excellent
Ministry' is alone worth the price of the book; it will be required
reading in every ministry course I teach." William H. Willimon
-- Bishop of North Alabama Conference, United Methodist Church
"Jack Carroll has been listening to us pastors through his massive
Pulpit & Pew survey. This illuminating book details what we have
learned about ourselves and what this master church observer thinks
about us as leaders in congregational formation."
