This is an outstanding book on what a church should be. It is worth every penny spent on it. Mark Dever did the church a service by writing this book.

Undoubtedly a critical and much needed book for true churches today! As many emphasis on the importance of human health, how much more is needed in examining the status of the church. An excellent book for pastors, ministers and even lay members of the church. Such as in the time of a great apostasy, it is also a time where biblical truths such as those stated in this book is needed. I thank God for it!
