Publisher's Description
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.

“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.”
“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.”
