Nine Marks of a Healthy Church
Nine Marks of a Healthy Church Paperback – 2004 by Mark Dever (Author) What makes for a healthy church? A large congregation? Plentiful parking? Vibrant music? You may have read books on this topic before-but not like this one. This new expanded edition of Nine Marks of a Healthy Church is not an instruction manual for church growth. It is a pastor's recommendation of how to assess the health of your church using nine crucial qualities that are neglected by many of today's churches. Whether you're a church leader or an involved member of your congregation, you can help cultivate these elements in your church, bringing it new life and health for God's glory. Review "If you are a Christian leader, be careful of the work you are now holding in your hand: it may change your life and ministry."—D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School "This is a foundational work which I highly recommend."—John MacArthur, Pastor, Grace Community Church, Sun Va
