So you lead volunteers. You lead the quirky, the crazy, and the amazingly incredible. Your volunteers are essential and you know that. They have skills, wisdom, experience, and the desire to do something significant. You couldn't do ministry without these volunteers, but they probably couldn't do their best work without you either. You are in the best position to show them just how much of a difference they can make.
In Leading Not Normal Volunteers, Sue Miller and Adam Duckworth show you how to lead your volunteers in practical and unexpected ways, how to leverage their quirks, and how to equip them to become incredible at what they do.
Leading Not Normal Volunteers is the companion volume to Not Normal: Seven Quirks of Incredible Volunteers, written especially for volunteers. See more resources like these at OrangeBooks.com and ThinkOrange.com.

Sue Miller is a teacher, leader, speaker, and author with a passion for bringing out the best in volunteers. Much of that passion developed over the 17 years she served as Children's Ministry Director at Willow Creek Community Church near Chicago, Illinois. Her ongoing challenge was to figure out how to recruit, grow, and keep a fantastic team of volunteers that could influence the faith of the 3,000 kids that attended each weekend. She also served on the senior management team under the leadership of pastor Bill Hybels, a champion of volunteerism.
In 2005, Sue joined Orange, a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to influence those who influence the next generation. These days she thinks Orange from head to toe when it comes to church strategy.
Sue is the author of several books, including Not Normal: Seven Quirks of Incredible Volunteers, Parenting Is Wonder-full, and Making Your Children's Ministry the Best Hour of Every Kid's Week.
When not working, Sue lives with her handsome husband, Rick, in a fixer-upper house in Atlanta, Georgia. She does life with her two favorite adult kids, one amazing son-in-law, a mischievous black mini schnauzer, and two of the most incredible grandsons on the planet.
Adam Duckworth is the Lead Communicator at Downtown Harbor Church, a forward-thinking downtown church committed to reaching families and embracing culture in its community. Downtown Harbor Church is at the center of South Florida's fastest-growing business, entertainment, and residential corridor, midway between Miami and Palm Beach. Members of the church come from more than 70 different nations.
In his previous work (most recently at First Fort Lauderdale), Adam revolutionized the volunteer culture by creating opportunities for volunteers to serve, leading them toward a common goal, and leveraging the influence of the next generation to volunteer as well.
In addition to his work at Downtown Harbor Church, Adam leads conferences for volunteers and serves as a communicator at Orange.
Adam attended the University of Toledo, where he completed degrees in both education and English. He lives a block from the beach in Fort Lauderdale with his wife, Katelyn, and their petite goldendoodle, Dottie. For more information about Adam, follow him on Twitter @adam_duckworth.
