Healthy Churches in a Sick World is based on a simple, biblical premise - to be truly healthy, a church must minister within its own body, in its own community, and throughout the world. Building on patterns established by New Testament churches, this book features evaluation mechanisms to help you gauge your church's 'vital statistics.' The personal examination is designed to help you diagnose specific problems and write specific prescriptions. It offers suggestions to improve areas found to be weak, and it also highlights examples of churches that are effectively putting into practice the principles outlined in this book.
