Left Behind in a Megachurch World: How God Works Through Ordinary Churches

Big things can come in small packages What does "bigger is better" mean for churches? Are great things for God only taking place in larger congregations? Or have steady, smaller churches been quietly transforming lives all along? After studying various smaller, "plateauing" churches from around the country, Ruth A. Tucker weaves together her interests in church growth and spiritual formation to show that smaller churches bear the greatest mantle for Christlikeness. Left Behind in a Megachurch World shatters the myth that only megachurches are leading the way for Jesus and shines a spotlight on ordinary churches doing extraordinary deeds. Whether you're a pastor, ministry leader, or member of a smaller congregation, Tucker's unique writing will encourage and inspire you as it shows you how you can make a big impact for the kingdom of God.
