100 Days to a Healthier Church by Karl Vaters – A Book Review

100 Days to a Healthier Church: A Step-By-Step Guide for Pastors and Leadership Teams   Karl Vaters


100 Days to a Healthier Church is a step-by-step guide for pastors and leadership teams, although the voice of the book is definitely directed toward the pastor as leader of this process. As a lay person having been in various leadership positions in our church over the past forty years, I embrace the need for change in order to improve the health of the church. The weekly foci outlined in this book seem to be a good prescription for this. The author gives many useful tips to make the process go more smoothly as well as pitfalls to avoid. It does seem to me that a pastor and leadership team would have to decide if the actual structure outlined in this book is feasible for their setting. Building a team that can commit to fifteen consecutive weekends would limit our church to mostly senior citizens and even then to ones without grandchildren events to attend. Overall this process is Scripture-based, organized, and would indeed lead to a healthier church.

I am grateful to have received a copy of this book from Moody Publishers via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review and received no monetary compensation.
