Outreach Magazine Resource of the Year

Sometimes we get so caught up in the power of Jesus shouting from the cross, "It is finished!" that we forget that Jesus started something. What Jesus started was a movement that began small, with intimate conversations designed to build disciples into apostles who would go out in the world and seed it with God's kingdom vision. That movement grew rapidly and spread wide as people recognized the truth in it and gave their lives to the power of it. That movement is still happening today, and we are called to play our part in it.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Addison seamlessly intertwines the biblical narrative with examples of how today's disciples of Christ are seeing the same miraculous activity of God.

If you want to be a part of that movement that Jesus launched, you'll want to draw deeply from What Jesus Started.

--David Garrison
Author of Church Planting Movements

Addison identifies the patterns of movement leadership shared by both Jesus and Paul in the New Testament with helpful examples of what God is doing around the world today.

--Neil Cole
Author of Organic Church

Jesus connects with the lost, shares the gospel, trains disciples, gathers them in communities, and multiples them to go out and do the same. Steve's insight into this process is clear and communicable. This book will challenge you to think more like a movement and less like an institution.

--Ed Stetzer
LifeWay Research

Addison draws on biblical insights and illustrates them with modern case studies to challenge existing paradigms to return to the New Testament ethos. Fortunately, Addison does more than challenge paradigms; he offers a practical guide to begin implementing this in your community.
--Steve SmithAuthor of T4T: A Discipleship Re-Revolution

Review

"In this highly accessible book, my old comrade Steve articulates something of the genius of Jesus' apostolic ministry in founding the movement that claimed his name. Jesus is the prototypal missionary. Therefore not only is his life worthy of moral and spiritual emulation, but his methodology is as well."

-- Alan Hirsch, author, The Permanent Revolution

5.0 out of 5 stars A deep and practical theogology for making disciples today
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2016
Verified Purchase
Addison did a great job of exploring all of the New Testament to understand Jesus' methods for establishing and expanding his kingdom. What makes this book great is that Addison looked at what Jesus did and put it into a simple model. He then 'discovered' that same model in what the apostles did after Jesus ascended to heaven. This same model becomes a practical tool for working with Jesus today for any of his followers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Game Changing Book!
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2015

This book has been a game changer for my own personal approach to discipleship, and to our church's approach to it. Steve Addison presents a clear, easy to follow historical and practical look at how Jesus made disciples. He follows that up with a look at the early Church's approach to making disciples, gathering them into communities, and entrusting them with the Gospel. Such a great read! You will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars SOME BOOKS JUST NEED TO BE READ
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2013
Verified Purchase
This is a must read if you are serious about your Christian walk. What Jesus started and what we do now are two completely different things, and Steve has ably shown what it really means to follow Jesus Christ. A great overview of the time of Christ to the end of Acts shows God at work, and our need to get with His programme, not ours. It is all about following Christ.

It turns around a lot of traditional thinking on how to bring people to a saving faith in Jesus Christ.

Shows how relational ministry really works as it did for Jesus are best and only example.

Very practical way of helping one understand the movement that so many are responding to in this world.

Excellent book with an excellent message.I wish all Christians would continue "What Jesus Started" !
If we say that we are followers of JEsus but aren't becoming fishers of men, there's a problem. Steve Addison's book helps us to understand how we can become disciples who take the great commission literally and obey the commands of Jesus.
