"If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, then error will be. If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendancy. If the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will. If the power of the gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of this land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation or end."—Daniel Webster

The Deliberate Church

Mark Dever & Paul Alexander

Pastors Mark Dever and Paul Alexander provide a model of a biblical church in this resource for pastors, elders, and others interested in the vitality of their church. This highly practical book proposes an attitude of complete reliance on and submission to the Gospel in building a healthy church.

The thesis for the book is that the church should be built around the Gospel. Every aspect of ?doing church? should have as its primary focus, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. From the children?s Sunday school to the announcements, to the pastoral prayer, to the songs selected to sing and the sermon, every act should point to the One for which we gather.

This is one of those books that every pastor and elder should read and digest, and every member concerned about the status of the evangelical church should read. Not only is it solidly biblical, Dever and Alexander give helpful ideas, many of which have been implimented in their own church. They also give a quality reading list for further study after each section. This isn't a 7-step plan or 12 step program about church. It's an attitude, a way of thinking about what the Bible says the church should look like and then making it happen. Every church in the world should be striving to be A Deliberate Church
