One of the remarkable qualities of global Christianity is that it began with a small group (our Lord and twelve apostles) and has spread to every corner of the globe. Yet, as Joe Easterling shows in this book, the global church has continued to grow, particularly through movements of revival, through small groups. This is a helpful, reflective study that ought to encourage continued small-group ministry and mission. --Edward L. Smither, Dean, College of Intercultural Studies, Columbia International University Joe Easterling has done the local church a great service. I personally feel that the church I have led for thirty-three years became the church it is today because of our small groups. Now learn the long history of small groups and how they have been used throughout time to sustain a vibrant ministry in the world. In Big Things Start Small, you will become convinced all over again of what the Lord uses to build his people. --Johnny M. Hunt, Senior Vice President of Evangelism and Leadership, North American Mission Board
