Do you want a flavor of the content of this slight volume (138 pgs)? The subtitle tells you all you need to know--A Training Manual. Bailey had some good things to say. There were even some poignant sentences. But over all it was pretty dry.

This book wasn't written to be a defense of Biblical eldership, but rather to inform and train churches and leaders on the nature of elders and deacons, their gifts and responsibilities, and how to implement them in modern churches.

This book was written by a Christian & Missionary Alliance pastor and speak specifically to that denomination in several places. I agreed with what he said overall, but there wasn't a lot of new material here for me.
