This book stresses [the New Testament Deacon] written in 1992.  I have read and taught this book in 1996/7 to Bible Baptist Church in Shiremanstown, PA that resulted in the church acceptance of the system.  I know of other churches that have developed this system and moved the leadership from a deacon controlled to a elder controlled set up.

I highly recommend the book as the companion book to the larger work Biblical Eldership [An urgent call to Restore Biblical Church Leadership] by Alex Strauch 1995.
