The Blessed Church by Robert Morris

There is a secret to growing a church. Church growth is more than just numbers on a roll. It is involved people. To go another step, it is a matter of proper link to the God who formed the church.

            Morris shares with the reader  his understanding of  the principles set down in scripture concerning the proper dictates concerning the church. He calls them keys to a blessed church. Each key is embedded with a scripture quote and can be found as illustrative sidelines to the subject handled in each chapter.

            Morris uses Gateway Church in suburban Dallas-Fort Worth as the basis of what a blessed church could look like.

            It is written in a conversational over the fence style that will appeal to  the general church developer

             I enjoyed the book. It informed and challenged me to look sat how I am helping my church group develop. Not everyone is going to be blessed with a big fellowship. But everyone of us can plug in to the keys and work with what God has provided us.

            Morris has conveyed scriptural truth to the leaders and the sheep in every congregation. I would recommend this to the church family.
