review 1: A brief, informative, and non-technical approach to the qualifications and duties of elders and deacons as found in Paul's letters to Timothy. This would be an exceptional read for pastoral search committees, prospective elder candidates, and every seminary student on a ministerial track. I wish he would've included the information in Titus, as well, for completion's sake, but the work as it stands is incredibly insightful, helpful, and, in some cases, convicting.
review 2: Thabiti has done an excellent work in putting together this book. It's a fairly quick read, and yet there is a lot of good stuff here. He basically goes through all the qualifications for the offices of deacon and elder. But it is far from a plain exposition of these qualifications. There
... moreis a lot of good practical advice here, even for the Christian life in general. The advice is profitable for church officers, those who are evaluating potential church officers, and, really, anyone who is a Christian and is a member in a church. As a lay person, I found it incredibly profitable. less

Great book outlining how to choose elders and deacons. Polity matters.
