What Is A Healthy Church?

What Is a Healthy Church? by Mark Dever
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This mini-book is an excellent primer for everything a church should be.  Caution to those who might be a bit nervous regarding theological discussion of conversion--Dever's description and analysis of conversion is well stated, biblical and every believer should take his assessment into consideration.  Dever does a good job defending his thesis that A healthy church is a congregation that increasingly reflects God's character as his character has been revealed in his Word. The book is pastorally written and is not intended to cause you problems as a pastor.  The book clearly is in your court should a parishioner get their hands on it.  Dever insists that a church member who sees the benefits of this book should hang in and pray for their church and be a catalyst for revival in their own church, rather than church hop.  He does make provision though for leaving should apostasy be in the pulpit and with elders of the church.
