I am grateful to hear that the book “The Daily Melvin” will publish soon. I developed many resources in ministry last thirty years. People questioned where in my work to find the best discussion on how to place people, even I find it difficult to answer those questions.
The Daily Melvin is intended to provide an answer. It presents in organized form —and directly from my own writings— a key statement of mine, followed by a few lines, also from my own works, of comment and explanations, on topics ranging across a great many resources on my work: Lay Pastors Ministry.
The most important part of this book is the blank spaces at the bottom of its pages. They are what the readers will contribute, their actions, decisions and the results of these decisions. For this is an action book.
This book owes everything to my longtime ministry friend, colleague, and the pioneer of Lay Pastors Ministry Korea, also the founding president of PACE International Seminary (PIS, Nagaland India), and now is trying to make Melvin Universty Byeongchea Seo. It was his idea to bring together in one volume the best excerpts from my writings. He then selected both the appropriate quotes and the commentaries on them from my writings, articles and manuals. The result is a truly comprehensive guide to executive effectiveness. My readers and I owe a very great debt of gratitude to Byeongchea.
