Revolutionaries

Revolutionaries

Recently, I read the book, Revolutionaries by Matt Brown. With the world trying to figure out how to begin their new year, this book got me thinking. Matt breaks down the stories of the people who took what we know as Christianity from its humble beginnings of several hundred followers to what is now the world’s largest religion at 2 billion adherents around the world today. The book begins showing the revolutionary life of Jesus Christ and the disciples. Matt continues to take his readers on a journey to retell the stories of revolutionaries of the 20th century like Smith Wigglesworth and Billy Graham. What Matt shows in this book is how each and every one of the revolutionaries of the times all had a way of inspiring those around them to make a difference in their world.

I think there are so many people working in churches today who feel weak, discouraged, forgotten, and lost in the thicket of several staff members. All these negative emotions and feelings are the exact qualifications of someone to change everything. I believe people really do want to be “Revolutionary.”, but often times just don’t know how. Matt does a great job of taking all of those negative emotions and turning them into positives. If you have a dream or 2010 goals that you want to meet and you feel like you just need some encouragement, I would highly recommend reading Revolutionaries by Matt Brown
