Customer Reviews

volunteer blues

We are entering a new building and it seems everyone has been kind of burnt out! We were looking for a revival of volunteers. Planning on a "Volunteer Fair", etc. I bought this book and have given every member of our education board a copy. Hoping it will help us recruit and retain volunteers. It is a fresh aproach to volunterism! It is also an easy and enjoyable read.

Pretty Good

This book by Bill Hybels does an excellent job of inspiring people to become volunteers and encouraging leaders to ask people to volunteer. This work also encourages leaders to support and encourage volunteers. This book is packed with one testimony after another of people who committed themselves to the work of the Church and found fulfillment. The chapters are short and this is an easy read. The testimonies are inspiring. The weakness of the book for me was that there was not enough "how to" information. There was some at the end, but any discussions about what kind of volunteer programs are best in church and which are not are missing. This is a good book in that it is inspiring, but I wish that it had been a little more pragmatic.

Encouragement Through Anecdotals!

This combination is great. Not another abstract book with principles of how to do ministry. Rather, Bill Hybels shares stories from the ministry of how ordinary Christians were transformed into true servants of Christ, in their volunteer capacities. Thank you, Bill. I highly recommend this book to those in ministry.

The Volunteer Revolution : Unleashing the Power of Everybody (Hardcover)

Pastor Hybels spells out what I think is the call for all Christians: to love one another, and to be the servant. The organization of Christians to do the right thing TOGETHER regardless of denomination I believe is the future of Christianity. This book goes into detail on how we can come together through SERVICE. Buy this for your small group leader or your pastor.

We all need volunteers!

Bill again simply tells the story of Willow's need to recruit committed strong leaders. Woven through are personal accounts that motivate the reader to believe we can find those needed volunteers for our churches.
