"Wow, could I have used this book when I launched my first nonprofit twenty years ago--without 80 percent of the useful information in here. Thousands of nonprofits are created every year. Few will be as successful as those who read this A-to-Z book and connect their dream with the reality checklist provided by Jill Esau."
--Dr. Robert C. Andringa, president, Council for Christian Colleges and Universities

"There are people among us with a vision and a passion to change the world. But vision and passion without structure and focus have little power. If this remarkable book helps just a few of those visionaries to put their faith into action in tangible and practical ways and realize their dreams, it may well change the world."
--Rich Stearns, president, World Vision US
