Microvolunteering

A new volunteer word has moved into our vocabulary, microvolunteering. "Mom used to bake cookies for the PTA and serve on committees for the church. Now she edits marketing copy for the local animal shelter while waiting for the bus and helps NASA identify craters on the moon during boring department meetings. Microvolunteering, the art of donating time in 20-minute increments, comes to us via our smart phones-which we also rely on to organize protests and tweet our bikeathon fund-raising totals."

Volunteer Book Review

Recently another blog posted a review of my book The Volunteer Book. The blog is Mel and Steve's Blog. Here is a little more about them:
Dr. J. Melvyn and Martha Ming and Steve and Ronda Mills are the founding partners of Leadership Development Resources LLC. After many years of collaboration in producing leadership materials and coaching church leadership teams, we formed LDR out of a commitment to a biblically based, Christ centered mission to develop leaders and empower churches. The focus of this blog is developing leaders and empower churches.

And now here is a link to their blog review of my book:
