Carl George "Over many months I carried around E. Stanley Ott's Transform Your Church with Ministry Teams. I read it in snatches in airports and motels, noting the furtive glances common to our hyper-driven, sound-bite world. At each reading I would marvel: How does one find the patience to so meticulously address the issues and lay out such a sound rationale for doing ministry within life teams? I found Ott's discourse to be practical and empowering for both volunteers and professionals. He meets virtually every objection to team-based ministry I have heard without flinching or rancor. He makes it possible for the most cautious among us to move with confidence into a way of doing church that also encourages our doing life together." Leonard Sweet "No one understands the word with better than E. Stanley Ott. For leaders struggling to transition their ministries from for to with -- one of the four key words of Christian discipleship -- this book is required reading." Ministry & Liturgy "A powerful book. . . . If you haven't read any ministry team books, this one is a keeper."
