Vital Adult Learning is a practical handbook for church leaders who want to revitalize and dramatically expand their adult education ministry.  Wade Paschal begins with a careful analysis of the characteristics and needs of adult learners.  He then helps the reader: identify distinct "personalities" of classes; recruit and train teachers; adapt or create curriculum resources; and provide appropriate space and equipment. Special attention is given to the needs of single adults, the needs of smaller churches, and the role of small groups.  A final chapter on troubleshooting helps leaders anticipate and solve common problems in adult education programs.
