Big Things Start Small

How Small Groups Helped Ignite Christianity's Greatest Spiritual Awakenings

About this book

History indicates that small group gatherings have been powerfully influential in igniting Christianity's most famous spiritual awakenings. In this groundbreaking study, Joe M. Easterling explores Christianity's four most significant awakenings and how small groups have influenced the rise and sustainability of each. As readers encounter the incredible accounts of how God transformed individuals, communities, and even nations through the movement of his Spirit, they will discover that small groups have been there all along as one of revival's most indispensable contributors. More importantly, readers will learn some common characteristics of the small groups during these awakenings and how they may be used in small groups of churches today in hopes that a spiritual awakening may ignite once again.
