ABOUT THE BOOK

They Turned the World Upside Down Title: They Turned the World Upside Down

Author: Charles Martin

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Release Date: January 5, 2021

Genre: Christian Life/Spiritual Growth

In the aftermath of Jesus’ resurrection, the testimonies of those who had followed him were so bold and so powerful that they turned the world upside down. What would happen if we lived with that same kind of faith today?

Walk in the shoes of the disciples, as New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin brings their stories to life with his storyteller’s perspective.

In the first century, believer didn’t just mean someone who heard and agreed with Jesus; it meant someone who acted on that belief. And when the outside world saw the faith of these new believers, they declared “they turned the world upside down” (Acts 17:6).

That’s the kind of believer Charles Martin wants us to be. The kind who understands that the truth of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection is so powerful, it reshaped history. The kind of believer who lives with that same world-changing faith today.

In his second non-fiction work, he uses his talents as a novelist to walk you through the lives of the disciples in the aftermath of the Resurrection and as they spread the message of the Gospel and “turn the world upside down”, leading up to Paul’s ministry in Thessalonica. In his beloved lyrical style, Martin illuminates key moments from Scripture and shares stories from his own life as a disciple.

With the same depth, sensitivity, and emotion that have made his novels beloved to millions, Martin will helps you engage with your faith in a new and inspiring way.

REVIEW: Charles Martin is a master storyteller. In They Turned the World Upside Down, Martin uses his gift to bring the story of Jesus' disciples to life. Growing up in the church, I've learned about the disciples for years; however, I've never made a strong connection to them or their lives. Charles Martin gives readers a glimpse into the lives of the disciples, providing them with the opportunity to relate to the disciples in an entirely new way. Additionally, Martin has clearly done his research and offers many thought-provoking insights that will not only deepen your understanding of the time the disciples lived in, but will also encourage you to dig a little deeper in your own quiet time. I would highly recommend this book!
