Miraculous Movements Touches All The Bases
My good friend and mentor, Jerry Trousdale, has just written a great book. It was Jerry that introduced me to the real concepts of Church Planting Movements in 2005. His friendship and help has been crucial in all that I have learned about cpm since then, and his input has been critical to what is currently happening in Honduras.....churches and studies that are impacting approximately 7,000 people!
The book is called "Miraculous Movements" and is a chronicle of the disciple making movements that have been transforming Africa in the last 7 years. If you buy 1 book on Kingdom advance this year, let it be "Miraculous Movements".
Here is a review that I posted on Amazon concerning it.

Jerry Trousdale has done an important service in writing this new book. Miraculous Movements does a great job of chronicling the amazing move of God in bringing thousands of Muslim people to faith in Christ. The last 7 years have seen an unprecedented harvest of Muslims to Christianity on the African continent. This book tells the "big picture" story, but also is filled with amazing anecdotes and details of how it has happened.
But this book does even more. While focused specifically on the African Muslim context, it explains the principles that are involved in Disciple Making Movements anywhere in the world. Using the Muslim movements as an example, the clear, simple, and repeatable critical elements of any Disciple Making Movement are explained in simple and practical terms.
The final chapter is a kind of step by step instruction on how these principles can be applied. The principles are supracultural and can bear fruit in any context. I can attest to this, because I lead a ministry that is currently applying these very principles in Latin America and we are beginning to see fruit in that very different culture. In fact, I believe that an adaptataion of these principles can impact both the Global South (Africa, Asia, and Latin America) and the Western cultures as well.
The combination of up to the minute reporting (all of these movements have happened from 2005 to the present)and the clearly explained practical principles, creates a riveting story and a training primer on Kingdom expansion. If you desire to be a disciple maker and a world changer, by all means get this book.
