 Full of great ideas!May 20, 2009
By Juracy S. Johnson
This book apart from telling you what to use in your workshops, it also
tells you what not to do and why!
Being a professor for more than 20 years, I recommend this book.
 A Handful or Two of Good IdeasApr 25, 2012
By B. Hepp
This book was recommended in another book on facilitation. I did find several good ideas, and have since used some of those with good results. Like another reviewer here, I found the comments about what not to do and mistakes to avoid helpful. But I had hoped for more. Like other reviews I've read elsewhere, I found the 21 list framework a bit gimmicky and distracting. Overall, it was worth the price, though better books may be out there (but I still haven't found what I'm looking for ... at least in newer books). I have found a few older books, like "How to Make Meetings Work" and "Joining Together" just as helpful.

Single best volumeJun 03, 2004
By Ronald Kraybill
I have taught facilitation for 20 years and maintain an extended bibliography of available books. If someone said they can buy only one book as a resource in facilitating, I would recommend this one. It is a remarkable collection of exercises, tools, strategies, and tips.
