GoodBookStall Review:
A very practical handbook, hopefully which does not share the same fate as “other” handbooks. Cleverly put together from personal experience and issues that need to be addressed by clergy in their parishes; simple to read and fun to take note of as well as serious issues about complaints etc. With new measures on the horizon for clergy this must be a Christmas gift worth having. It brings in all the salient points about effective management, which most clergy would prefer to ignore, but oh how important they are. It has a very useful resource guide as well in the back of the book.
