Synopsis

"It just isn't a healthy church..."

In a world of competing voices about what church is all about, we need a thoroughly biblical understanding of what makes a church strong, healthy, and mature.

Gene Getz, with the wisdom God has granted him over decades of ministry, gives us just this. Previously titled The Measure of a Church, this book addresses matters like:

• The definition of church
• How one measures leadership
• How one measures worship
• The one, ultimate standard by which a church is measured

If we don't know what a true and healthy church really is, we'll never get close to attaining it. Learn how God measures a church, that you might go about your work more faithfully.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

What is real success?

Do our relationships in the church reflect Christ? Does church sometimes look more like a dysfunctional family than a healthy one? Do we really understand what discipleship ought to look like?

By limiting the definition of a healthy church to human standards we are effectively missing God’s point for it.

With more than four decades of pastoring, church planting and seminary teaching, Gene Getz has seen how the health of a church must be measured by the authenticity of its members. Their understanding of who Jesus Christ is and their reflection of Him in daily life is what really matters.

In this updated and expanded version of his classic work, Gene Getz helps you find the biblical approach to how God assesses the strength, health, and maturity of His local church. Turn your questions into answers as you learn scriptural truths necessary for measuring real success.
