"The Gospel-Driven Church models a 'grace-shift' in a church's culture that prioritizes God's work in people's lives over numbers and dollars. Author Jared Wilson introduces key diagnostics to help leaders measure the spiritual health of their church and provides a practical, prescriptive plan for implementing this metric-measuring strategy without becoming legalistic. From preaching to counseling, church music to children's ministry, you will learn to assess your church in light of Christ's finished work and lead your church to embrace the gospel of God's grace." -- page 2 of cover.
