A Physical Examination of the 21st Century Church: a Medical Analogy Charles Holsey

This is a creative book that relates and compares sickness in the Church to sickness in the body. In order to do so, this book creates a parallel between sin, disease, and prevention where the church represents the physical body that has become ill and needs healing. In order to ascertain healing, an extensive physical examination is conducted on the Church detailing subjective findings, objective findings, as well as an assessment and a plan for healing. Rev.
