What we've heard about elders' meetings makes us cringe. Trivial agendas, power struggles, apathy and weak leadership. But the work of elders is too important to be conducted ineffectively. Rather, their spiritual strength and wise leadership should be driving the spiritual growth of the church.

Meetings That Work will help your bring vitality to your meetings and strength to your relationships as you work through the storms and struggles of normal church life together. Short and practical, this book will lead to immediate improvements in your elder meetings.

"As usual Strauch writes as a man with a deep heartfelt desire to see elders take seriously their responsibilities and lead the church forward to the glory of God. Every elder should take the time to read this good book." -- Christian Education and Publications

"Short and simple, this solid little book will be a valuable addition to any minister's library, especially if he will read and follow it!" -- The Southern Baptist Journal of Theology
