I just got in the mail Thabiti Anyabwile’s excellent book, What Is A Healthy Church Member? WTS also offers a PDF of the preface, introduction and Mark 1. After skimming it quickly, I found it wrought with much application and think it would be an excellent small group material for our church (potentially i.e. if the elders agree). Breaking from the conventional mold of 9 Marks, he gives 10 Marks of a healthy church member:
A Healthy Church Member Is…
1) An Expositional Listener
2) A Biblical Theologian
3) Gospel Saturated
4) Genuinely Converted
5) A Biblical Evangelist
6) A Committed Member
7) Seeks Discipline
8) A Growing Disciple
9) A Humble Follower
10) A Prayer Warrior
If you are looking for a book that will practically help your involvement in your church, this book is for you.
