It was after I had completed this book that I came across Mark Dever’s Nine Marks of a Healthy Church (Carol Stream, Ill.: Crossway, 2004). I am glad to note that his approach and mine are similar and supplement one another.

I gladly refer my readers to Michael Green’s mammoth book Evangelism Through the Local Church (London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1990). Here are nearly 600 pages of guidance—theological, personal and practical—from one whose head, heart and hands are together committed to the evangelistic out-reach of the local church.
