- "This book is about volunteer lay ministries. It is addressed to the lay members of the churches to help them understand their ministries more clearly, to affirm those ministries, and to suggest concrete ways of enhancing their influence and leadership in the mission of the church. Much of what is written undoubtedly applies to professional, paid lay Church workers. There's something here for the clergy too. But the readership in mind is the ordinary Church member". -- Preface.
