Review
If you have health, you have everything; the old axiom about our bodies is equally true of our churches. Macchia goes straight to the heart of what churches need and can do to survive and thrive in the twenty-first century. -- Leith Anderson, Wooddale Church
Macchia's emphasis is on growing a healthy body of believers able to withstand the test of time. With a foreword by Haddon Robinson and an afterword by Gordon MacDonald, this book comes highly recommended in the church community and naturally will appeal to pastors, board members, seminarians and other students of church growth -- Christian Retailing, January 1, 1999
This book helps church leaders evaluate and seek Gods particular will for leading their church into spiritual health. Its practical, well-written, and focuses on God as the only Provider of that health. -- Warren Burns, CBA Marketplace, February 1999
