ANATOMY OF A DMIN DISSERTATION: A Guide to Develop, Implement, and Report a Doctor of Ministry Project

There is a need for a short, easily understandable, and practically useful guide to Doctor of Ministry dissertations to assist students regardless of their math background or the type of research they plan to pursue (quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods). This is such a guide to help students develop, implement, and report outstanding applied research projects to earn their DMin degrees. Written by a former DMin director who has taught in North America, Europe, and Asia, this guide responds to the learning needs of DMin candidates from a global perspective.
This guide provides an orientation to the world of research to thesis writers, assists them to select a researchable problem or question, helps to choose the best methods and tools to study the selected topic, and presents an annotated chapter-by-chapter outline of the entire dissertation for writing, submission, and defense of the DMin project.
