- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2024Becoming a Deacon is a great commitment to the congregation. We must serve as Christ served. The author provides many examples have how Deacons can carry out their functions to humbly complete the tasks of growing the church body. I highly recommend this book to those new to being a Deacon and those who all already Deacons.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2013I ORDERED THIS BOOK FOR MY HUSBAND AND HE HAS READ IT OVER AND OVER AND HE LOVES IT. IT IS A GREAT BOOK TO READ AND HE WAS LOOKING FOR SOME HELP AND GOD LED HIM TO A FRIEND THAT TOLD HIM ABOUT THIS BOOK. I CAN NOW SAY THAT MY HUSBAND WAS A TRUSTEE AT OUR CHUCH AND NOW HE IS A DEACON. IT HELPED HIM IN SO MANY WAYS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS BOOK.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2009This book is basic primer on what it means to be a Baptist deacon. It is very Southern Baptist in tone, but would be applicable in any Baptist congregation. It is an easy read, so it would be suitable for men in the church regardless of their educational background. This title would be ideal for a gift to share with newly ordained Deacons. There are many books on the market with a similar theme, but this one is perhaps the most recent and comprehensive. I recommend it.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2021It is very informative. I am a Deaconess and bought this book got myself. I’ve learnt how to respect the Church and Leaders. It has helped with my walk as being a Deaconess. I believe the Church needs to read this book to better understand the roles of being a Deacon/Deaconess. But it is for the men mainly. But it helps learning their place too.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2023I love the step by step biblical references that leads one to understand more about the call to the diaconate ministry.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2013I bought this book to learn all the responsibilities of being a Deacon. This book was recommended to me and I have read it more than once. It is very informative and have no complaints about buying it. Gives deep detail on the selection process, roles, definition of being a deacon, and so much more. If you are interested in becoming a Deacon and want to know what you are in for then buy this book, it will truly help you out in your walk with GOD. Be blessed!!1
- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2015Deacons: Servant Models, have brought an alignment of self and pride to the maintenance of the pastor and members in unity.
Servanthood, leads my men into meaningful soul-winners,lay leaders,ministry,greeters,ushers, all around pastoral participative
leaders submitting to shared responsibilities, purpose.communication and focus. Becoming task oriented and creative.
Key in response to any challenge that faces their pastor creating trust, and problems solving. The books set in motion the climate
of prayer for all formentioned.

1.0 out of 5 stars t.e.n.
Terrible.
Too focused upon behaviours, a deacon who looks like the deacon described in this book is likely to be a poor leader. I'd give the book 0 stars if I could.
