Excellent Foundation - Practical Information

Before I read this book I was uncomfortable in my role as a board member of a 300-member church. Our board wasn't much of a help to our pastor. I had no idea of my responsibilities as a board member and we weren't very effective. We had no formal orientation to bring new members up to speed and our bad habits perpetuated. In a practical way, this book laid the foundation necessary to turn that around. It helped me realize my role and step into it, which helped us lift some of the burdens from our leader. I applaud Mr. Biehl for this work and would highly recommend it to any non-profit board member.

CCC Church Board

This book has proven an excellent help for our church board members. Most people elected to these board positions lack the training on might find in the corporate arena. We reccomend this book and are purchasing one copy for each of our board members. Don't be uninformed.
