Becoming a Healthy Church Workbook
This is the tool you need to evaluate and improve the health of your church. Becoming a Healthy Church Workbook, the companion to Macchia's book Becoming a Healthy Church, provides summaries of the ten characteristics of a healthy church and looks at seven key questions that need to be answered by every leadership team. Each of the seven questions forms a step in the ministry planning process, which will help you and your church leaders assess the health of your church, realize its potential, and become unified with a plan toward greater health and vitality. "All too often assessments ask the right questions but leave you hanging. This outstanding workbook takes you through a well-facilitated strategic planning process that develops healthy, realistic timelines for success."  Sue Mallory, executive director, Leadership Training Network "This new workbook for Becoming a Healthy Church makes a great resource for churches even better! It can help congregations move from dreams, lethargy, or despair into a dynamic, significant, and Christ-exalting future."  Roberta Hestenes, minister, World Vision International Praise for Becoming a Healthy Church: "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 "Cultivation of these ten characteristics will, through the gracious providence of God, lead to a veritable revival of Christ's church in our time."  Walter C. Kaiser Jr., president, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary "This book makes a huge contribution to the effort of church renewal worldwide."  Bill Hybels, Willow Creek Community Church "I loved reading Becoming a Healthy Church! It is a wonderful tool that I recommend to every church that is serious about being purpose-driven."  Rick Warren, author, The Purpose-Driven Church "You will find spiritual insight and practical profitability in this book."  Jack Hayford, The Church on the Way  "Instead of old-style models and maps, programs, and procedures-none of which work in postmodern culture-Macchia gives us what does work."
