I have not read that book but i know stats can be complicated - and often are designed that way.
Even in our Pentecostal churches, have you considered the large disparity between
1. Membership
2. Attendance
3. Constituency
Attendance may be three times that of Membership. And "Constituency" could be five to ten times the figure given for membership.
