Mark Dever’s Best-Selling Book, Newly Updated in Its Fourth Edition
There is no such thing as a perfect church—but there is such a thing as a healthy church. So what distinguishes a healthy church from an unhealthy one?
Now in its fourth edition, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church is designed to walk readers through this very question. Expanding on each of the 9 marks—expositional preaching, gospel doctrine, concern for discipleship, and more—this classic text offers tried-and-true biblical principles for leading a church toward health. A must-read for pastors, church leaders, and laypeople, this updated edition features a new preface and added content on prayer and missions.
304 pages.

I have used this book and the website for many years (since the second edition), and continue to teach through it in our church at various points. It is a foundational work for churches to understand the biblical definitions of ‘what is a church’ and this book is rock solid. The latest updates are welcome inclusions. Highly recommended work for pastors and congregants alike.
