Publisher Review: Any church can be healthier and glorify God better in all that it is and does. Pastor Mark Dever suggests nine marks have grown rare in today's churches and that distinguish a healthy, biblical church from its less-healthy sisters--marks like expositional preaching, a biblical understanding of evangelism, and strong church discipline. Whether you are a pastor, lay leader, or involved member of a congregation, you can help cultivate these elements in your church, bringing it new life and health for God's glory.
—I want God's word about the church. I turn with hope and confidence to Mark Dever's radically biblical commitment. Few people today have thought more or better about what makes a church biblical and healthy." " John Piper, Pastor for Preaching and Vision, Bethlehem Baptist Church |

When I was a new pastor I was desperately seeking someone with which I had some measure of affinity. I did not know it would come in the form of a book. Having grown weary of all the church growth "how to books", I stumbled upon "Nine Marks of a Healthy Church." It was like fresh air. Finally I had found something that was neither fadish or dull; something that was grounded in Scripture with a refreshing disregard for all the church growth rules. Pastors, elders, deacons, and anyone interested in serving the church well ought to read Mark Dever's wonderful book. |
