"A wonderful tool that I recommend to every church that is serious about being purpose-driven." -Rick Warren, author of The Purpose-Driven Church
Becoming a Healthy Church illustrates the ten most important characteristics of church health. Based on extensive surveys, this helpful volume is designed to encourage the creation of a healthy climate for your church and its ministry.
This was assigned reading for an Evangelism course I will be taking soon and I skimmed the book. I found the material to be good but it was bogged down with long examples which I, perhaps just a personal preference, found to be distracting from conveying the good information the book contained. That said, I probably will come back to this book and mine some info for both sermons and some work that needs to be done within my church to get us on track to being a healthier church from the inside looking out.
