Nine Marks of a Healthy Church (4th edition)

4th Edition

De: Mark Dever, H. B. Charles

What Makes for a Healthy Church?

You may have encountered books on this topic before, but not like this one. Instead of an instruction manual for church growth, this classic text points to basic biblical principles for assessing and strengthening the health of your church. Whether you’re a pastor, a leader, or an involved member of your congregation, studying the nine marks of a healthy church will help you cultivate new life and well-being within your own church for God’s glory.

This revised edition includes two new chapters; updated material on prayer, missions, evangelism, and the gospel; and a foreword by H. B. Charles, Jr.

The reality of building by the scriptures

To set aside our feeling and get back on track, some
Things will seem unfamiliar and uncomfortable but I hope if you’re a born again believer it feels necessary. We have clearly lost our way, let’s look to the past and replant our feet on the solid foundation of the scriptures, trust and obey, oh and this book will help too! More than five stars!

Excellent Book

Great points! Learned a lot. I would return to this book again for more insight.

Great one!

One every pastor and church leader should read. Biblical and solid in every way. I highly recommend it.

A must read for Pastors and Ministry Leaders

So thankful that a fellow colleague sent me this book, I feel like every pastor and ministry leader should read this. It's practical and it's what our churches need today.

Biblically Based and Biblically Focused

A wonderful book that points to the truth of the Gospel and God’s design for the local church.

One review stated that the marks presented in the book are not the only marks. Pastor Dever specifically states in the book that the marks he lays out is not an exhaustive list, but instead important marks he has come to understand through the teaching of God’s word over his career. Just wanted to point that out for anyone reading the reviews and considering whether or not to read the book.
