"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.
