Summary

God on the Move, edited by Dave Coles, is a condensed adaptation of the book Motus Dei by Warrick Farah intended to present the heart of Motus Dei to a broader, less academic audience. God on the Move describes the methods and impacts of discipleship making movements which center around bringing the gospel to unreached areas by first identifying a person of peace to facilitate sharing the gospel with others in their culture and then studying the Bible through interactive methods with an emphasis on obedience and making more disciples. These methods have resulted in fast growth leading to larger church planting movements (CPMs) which are defined as “a group with at least one hundred congregations, planted by four successive generations of believers.” (page 18) The principles presented in God on the Move differ from traditional church planting efforts and have not been without controversy. The book concludes with a discussion of the most common objections to these newer methods of evangelism and church planting.
