You were made to make disciples. Jesus gave His followers a command: “Follow Me.” And a promise: “I will equip you to find others to follow Me.” We were made to make disciples. Designed for use in discipleship relationships and other focused settings, Multiply will equip you to carry out Jesus’ ministry. Each of the 24 sessions in the audio book corresponds with an online video at www.multiplymovement.com, where New York Times best-selling author David Platt joins Francis Chan in guiding you through each part of Multiply. One plus one plus one. Every copy of Multiply is designed to do what Jesus did: make disciples who make disciples who make disciples … until the world knows the truth of Jesus Christ.

"Chan's close reading of Hebrew Scripture (the Old Testament) and the New Testament reveal evidence that all who call themselves Christians are called to be disciples. Being a disciple means making more disciples, and fulfilling The Great Commission that the resurrected Christ gave His initial eleven followers before His ascent into Heaven (Matthew 28:16-20, NIV). Challenging and empowering."

“Chan utilizes his popular practical and punchy style to galvanize Christians to study and apply the Bible and to share it with others. The book stands apart from other Bible or discipleship studies by offering a vast store of resources, including videos, reading guides, and other tools, on a website (multiplymovement.com) dedicated to the book. Relying not only on the information in the book but also imitation of leaders who are guiding others through this primer on following Jesus, Chan intends for real-life transformation to occur. Nowhere is this clearer than in the questions that conclude sections of the work, which often ask readers how the teaching affects their life. Chan, a rising star in evangelical circles, has added another asset for Christian leaders and teachers to use as they shepherd others in the ways of Jesus.”
— Publishers Weekly“A practical book of discipleship that is no mere exercise in Christian cheerleading. Instead, Multiply functions as an interactive action-pack for spreading the Good Word: Each of its twenty-four sessions corresponds with an online video at multiplymovement.com. Call it math magic: a way to multiple disciples even as you read and watch.”
— Barnes & Noble, editorial review“Multiply is a simple, practical, biblical, helpful, and personal tool for disciples of Jesus who want to make disciples of Jesus.”
— from the foreword by David Platt" This is a great book though not a typical Frances Chan book. I like what he is doing here and it would be a great tool to use with those less mature in faith. Seems to be following the movement happening now where there is a huge push for discipleship and growing in maturity, something desperately needed. "
— Mike, 2/18/2014" a good resource to go through with a few individuals or small group to help them get a solid Biblical overview. Great for new Christians or for those who do not have good understanding of Bible. "
— Amy, 2/14/2014" I got a lot out of Chan's popular "Crazy Love," but I was disappointed with this one. I was looking for more about how to go about talking to people about Jesus instead of all the reasons why we should (I was already clear on that). Some of it seemed repetitive to me. That said, there are some good insights and some things are explained in ways that I'd never thought of before. "
— Heather, 2/2/2014" Loving this book so far! Every church leader needs to read this and gain the passion to make disciples if it isn't there already. "
— James, 1/23/2014" While everything in this book is Biblical - I was looking for even MORE. Did not take anything new away from this read - great reminders that you life is His to use in all areas for His purposes, tho. :) "
— Joan, 1/17/2014" Basic, but not trite. Good beginner material for discipleship. "
— Nate, 1/16/2014" This not only Chan's best book, but also the best book on discipleship. "
— Chris, 12/31/2013" Non-fiction pick of the year! A must read. "
— Michele, 12/23/2013" Excellent book; not because I learned facts that I'd never heard, but because this material successfully helps on bridge any "gap" between knowledge of facts and practical application. Very well worth the time you'll take to read. "
— Bob, 12/18/2013" Every christian should read this. "
— Jennifer, 12/13/2013" This is a really interesting read. It helps the reader gain some basic perspective about the Bible and is written in a way that any disciple would understand. I would like to go back through the book with someone else as I think it really is designed for multiple readers in a study group. "
— Brian, 12/12/2013" Excellent book that gives a great overview of the entirety of scripture. After reading this with others a person will be much better equipped to understand their Bibles and to help others comprehend. "
— Sandycruise, 12/6/2013" A good thorough book that discusses a variety of aspects regarding disciple making. Different topics are somewhat strung together without much rhyme or reason. All in all a good book to help refocus our view of relationships both in and outside the church. "
— Maggie, 12/3/2013" a good overview of the entire story of God's plan for redemption and the role a follower of Jesus plays in that story. "
— Tim, 11/21/2013" Great book on what the church and the Christ-follower is to be about and that is making disciples. Chan, as always, gives you great tools and the book itself is one of those. It is an excellent book to go through with another individual or a small group. I would recommend it simply for that. "
— Stephen, 10/14/2013" Excellent. Basic stuff we all should be a part of! "
— Shawn, 8/15/2013" Pure excellence - I think I love everything Francis Chan has written so far. "
