Megachurch

“Allen uses creative illustration and allegory to tell a compelling story about a family’s struggle with ambition and authentic faith. You may lose yourself in the drama but find for yourself what is most important in the end!”
—Matthew Morrell, President, Central Baptist Theological Seminary

“Allen has done it again with his second novel on the theme of revival. He explores the global future of the church with a captivating tale of passing the torch to the next generation. Take fascinating characters in subplots set around the globe. Throw in details of innovation, missionary work, theology, revivalism, music, and church history. Add a love story for good measure. I guarantee you will enjoy this book as I did!”
—Randy L. Miller, Graduate Research Librarian, Liberty University

“While the story was captivating, more intriguing was the exploration of evangelical Christianity outside of the cultural expectations American believers have come to equate with Christianity. . . . What I thought would be a critique of the megachurch trend ended up making me question why we do the things we do in American evangelicalism. More importantly, why do we demand that the world accept the American version of the church as the only way to follow Christ?”
—Tamim Khaliqi, United States Anesthesia Providers, Denver

“Allen has written an incredibly timely book. . . . Pastoral succession, especially in megachurches, can be one thorny problem. . . . In this book Allen has taken a novel approach to the problem by incorporating a bit of riveting romance in the recipe for Rev. Replacement. Readers are in for a wild ride through Allen’s imagination and the fascinating biblical theme park with which the Disneyesque author opens his book. He has put some fun in fundamentalism with this adventurous book.”
—James Lutzweiler, retired Archivist, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
