Biblically and practically instructs church members in ways they can work for the health of their church.
What Is a Healthy Church Member? takes its cue from Mark Dever's recent book, What Is a Healthy Church?, which offered one definition of what a healthy church looks like biblically and historically. In this new work, pastor Thabiti Anyabwile attempts to answer the natural next question: "What does a healthy church member look like in the light of Scripture?"
God intends for us to play an active and vital part in the body of Christ, the local church. He wants us to experience the local church as a home more profoundly wonderful and meaningful than any other place on earth. He intends for his churches to be healthy places and for the members of those churches to be healthy as well.
This book explains how membership in the local church can produce spiritual growth in its members and how each member can contribute to the growth and health of the whole.

While the book is valuable to individual readers, it is also ideally suited for small group study. In my church we often read books together and I am sure this is the kind of book the leadership is likely to consider for future study.
What Is A Healthy Church Member? is a valuable little volume and one I commend to you. Those who read it are sure to benefit from it.... continue reading
Excellent
This was very useful to me as an individual on right thinking and behaviour. I hope to now use it for a small group.
