Biblically and practically instructs church members in ways they can labor for the health of their church. What Is a Healthy Church Member? takes its cue from Mark Dever's book What Is a Healthy Church?, which offered one definition of what a healthy church looks like biblically and historically. In this new work, pastor Thabiti Anyabwile attempts to answer the natural next question: "What does a healthy church member look like in the light of Scripture?" God intends for us to play an active and vital part in the body of Christ, the local church. He wants us to experience the local church as a home more profoundly wonderful and meaningful than any other place on earth. He intends for his churches to be healthy places and for the members of those churches to be healthy as well. This book explains how membership in the local church can produce spiritual growth in its members and how each member can contribute to the growth and health of the whole. Thabiti M. Anyabwile (MS, North Carolina State University) serves as a pastor at Anacostia River Church in Washington, DC, and is the author of numerous books. He serves as a council member of the Gospel Coalition, is a lead writer for 9Marks Ministries, and regularly blogs at The Front Porch and Pure Church. He and his wife, Kristie, have three children.

In a simple and direct style, T M Anyabwile helps us ask ourselves this question in his short book (10 chapters of about 10 pages each). I'd recommend every member of the church get a copy of this book and to read it during the course of this year. Here are the advantages…
• we could assess our own health and that of the church biblically
• we would find much encouragement for spiritual growth
• we would find kindly correction and opportunity for godly repentance
• we’d have good things to talk with each other after church each week
• we could use the 2-3 questions in each chapter in Bible study groups
It is, of course, no substitute for the Bible -- its value is that it seeks to call us back to biblical priorities. Especially if our Christian life is in a bit of a rut, or seems fairly pedestrian, we can think that what we really require is some extraordinary spiritual experience. But, to quote the book, "as we've just seen in John 15, it is the ordinary means of grace that ordinarily produces growth and maturity. In fact, while the sensational and extraordinary can and often does lead people astray, that Word properly taught and understood never will" (p90). Wise words, and healthy.
