One of the best books I know of, dealing with church life is "Nine Marks of a Healthy Church" by Mark Dever (published by Crossway Books). Dr. Dever is pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C.
Based on the Bible, Pastor Dever focuses on these crucial characteristics of healthy church life:
1. Expositional preachng
2. Biblical Theology
3. The Gospel
4. A Biblical Understanding of Conversion
5. A Biblical Understanding of Evangelism
6. A Biblical Understanding of Church Membership
7. Biblical Church Discipline
8. A Concern for Discipleship and Growth
9. Biblical Church Leadership
[I would add: Biblical Worship]
