The Measure of a Healthy Church

Does your church sometimes look more like a dysfunctional family than a healthy one? With more than 40 years' pastoral experience, Gene Getz has seen how the health of a church must be measured by the authenticity of its members. In this book, he offers a biblical approach to understanding how God measures real success in a church. 222 pages, from Moody.

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.

How does one measure leadership? How does one measure worship? What is the one, ultimate standard the church is measured by?
