Your Church at Its Best!

"Much has been written about church health. Most books focus on a handful of components contributing to the healthy functioning of a church. In John Cionca's Your Church at Its Best!, the contemporary church has a manual addressing the full spectrum of church health. From a solidly biblical and theological foundation, Cionca builds on his decades of experience as a pastor, seminary professor, and church consultant. He concisely and concretely describes the myriad dimensions contributing to a healthy church in today's challenging context. In addition to helpful examples, Cionca provides action steps churches can take to implement the various principles he discusses. Your Church at Its Best will be equally beneficial to those actively involved in building healthy churches, as well as those teaching in academic settings preparing women and men to be engaged in that task."

"Cultural shifts are taking place in North America, creating new complexities in ministry. Changing technologies, the collapse of modern Christendom, and the growing ethnic populations are just a few of the new winds of change blowing across the church landscape. As pastors and other church leaders seek to understand and navigate the changes, John Cionca provides helpful answers in Your Church at Its Best! Partnering with the Spirit in Ministry, based on Cionca's research among five hundred-plus churches and pastors, the book shows church leaders how to sail through the numerous winds of change to become a healthy church. Every church leader should read it and use it to set a biblical direction for their church."

"Filled with real-life, not theoretical, examples, John Cionca lays out his understandings for today's church. While every era looks at things in different ways, the handles he describes are very accessible to all church leaders to apply within their own context and culture. Your Church at Its Best! is a quick read that will keep you thinking over and over."
