The Blesses Church is a book that could be easily overlooked by the average reader
because they may assume that is primarily just for pastors. This is not true
though. The Blesses Church can be
applicable to pastors, leaders in the church, other ministry leaders, anyone
who aspires to be a pastor or church leader, or anyone is who is simple a
regular attendee of a church. If you fit into any one of these categories, read
this book!
Robert Morris does a good job
of not telling you a specific formula of XYZ to have a blessed church. Instead
he gives you pointers of things that have been established in his own church, things
that are based on God’s Word. Not every church is going to be a huge mega
church, but every church can be a blessed church. There are many great nuggets
of truth and insight that are weaved through The Blesses Church. Along with those are stories from his personal
life and life in ministry. All of which serve as examples of the points that he
is trying to make.
Although this book is a quick
and easy read, it had a lot of valuable material in it. I would recommend this
book for anyone who is a part of a church body. If you are the pastor it can
give you great pointers for leading a blessed and healthy church. If you are a
ministry leader it can give you guidelines and examples of what to implement in
your ministry area. If you are a part of a church it will give you a better
understanding of what it takes to lead a church and how you can help to be a
support to that church.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
