What is a Healthy Church?

Just finished this book by Mark Dever about 9 marks of a healthy church.  I’d heard some good things about Mark’s stuff so I decided to give it a try.

It is a small book that didn’t really say that much.  I only underlined 3 sentences in the whole book – which is unusual for me – I’m a big underlining guy.  Mark didn’t really say much that grabbed a hold of me.  Now I did agree with almost all of what he said, it just felt like I’d heard it all before .

I suppose for someone that is new to the faith and church world it could be helpful in choosing a local congregation to connect with,  but there are probably other resources I’d send them to first.

I don’t know if Mark just isn’t a good writer or if this was a subpar offering.  I’ll probably try one of his other contributions sometime to find the answer.
