A most exciting new book has just been released, Beyond Megachurch Myths: What We Can Learn from America's Largest Churches. 
Authored by leading megachurch researchers Scott Thumma and our own Dave Travis (Managing Director of Leadership Network), the book debunks seven common myths, including that they:
- Are just too big to be good
- Are driven by personality cults and will fade away
- Are selfish and only concerned with their own needs
- Water down faith
- Are bad for the overall religious economy
- Serve people of the same race, class, and political views
- Grow because of the “worship show”
Beyond Megachurch Myths is filled with practical insights and suggestions for pastors and leaders of churches and ministries that can be applied no matter what their size.
The official website www.megachurchmyths.com has a link to the Beyond Megachurch Myths blog, free preview of chapter 1 (PDF), plus resources mentioned in the book and more.
