Dave Ferguson has written another inspiring, practical, and immensely helpful book for pastors and congregation leaders. He reveals how important health is for the sake of the mission of the Gospel. Sometimes the material feels like good reminders, but then he provides insightful nuance that makes classic truths new. I will be getting additional copies for my leadership team to be inspired, to dream big, and to multiply!

First half is great! Super practical. The RPMS alone are worth reading. Very helpful for how to not just talk about multiplication, but how to live lives worth multiplying. Creating systems to develop leaders and send them out into the harvest. Disagree with some ecclesiological things, but I think it’s largely helpful and good perspective to gain.

Wow! Ferguson’s done it again: another book that deserves a higher rating than five! 😊 Challenging but still really hopeful and inspiring and that everything is possible. À must read for every leader in Church! I recommend it warmly! ❤️🙏

I got this book when I was at the Exponential Conference. This is a book that should not be read quickly, study it, make notes, and implement what it says. This book will make you feel excited but also nervous.

I thought the first half was an excellent foundation for the life of multipliers, but I especially appreciated the second half. As a person in denominational conversations around movement and multiplication, chapter 12 was worth the whole book!

This book helped me so much as a church planter. It combines wisdom for the cultivation of a healthy inner world with wisdom for a fruitful outer world on mission with Jesus.
