What Jesus Started

What Jesus Started: Joining the Movement, Changing the World
By Steve Addison (IVP)
A 2014 OUTREACH RESOURCE OF THE YEAR

When it comes to church health, the single greatest indicator is healthy, replicating disciples of Jesus. Addison thoroughly establishes a framework for discipleship by analyzing the ministry methods of Jesus, the early disciples and Paul, while interweaving several real-life stories of multiplying disciples and churches. What Jesus Started is an excellent, practical resource to help your church take significant steps toward becoming an effective movement of disciple-making disciples, which is what a healthy church is all about. The application of the ideas contained in this resource, empowered by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, would do wonders for cultivating a vibrant community of Christ followers! —Todd Engstrom, from the March/April 2014 issue of Outreach magazine
