Critics Review
“A Little One Shall Lead is an important book for anyone called to lead small membership churches which, as Craig and Dunlap demonstrate, are the vibrant heartbeat of the United Church of Christ.” - The Rev. Roberto Ochoa, UCC Conference Minister, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota Conference
“Old stories are new again. Small groups of people following Jesus find spiritual renewal! These beautiful chapters show the embodiment of place-based ministry in our time.” - The Rev. Dr. Malcolm Himschoot, Dean, Maine School of Ministry
“The idea that bigger is always better is dispelled in this text - where the gifts of smaller churches are identified and shared. This book is a tool for building excitement in our smaller faith communities, and a reminder that Jesus is present wherever two or more are gathered.” - The Rev. Dr. Bonnie Bates, UCC Conference Minister, Penn Northeast Conference
