Folksy, almost breezy, language disguises serious, insightful, spiritual counsel to those seeking to discover their call to diaconal ministry. This long-needed book will contribute greatly to those searching to see if they fit this lay ministry, those already serving as deacons, and those who seek to equip the ministry of the diaconate. Don't let this easily read book keep you from appreciating its depth and its practicality.
