Not Just For Pastors


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.
