Revolutionary God: How Knowing Him Changes Everything

History is full of revolutions, led by people willing to stand up against oppression and lead a movement. People who embody the heart values of the movement. Jesus wasn’t a political or military leader, but he did come to bring the greatest revolution this world has seen. For his fellow revolutionaries, Jesus has paid the greatest price. He brings the most incendiary and divisive message you will ever hear or speak about. Will we follow his lead?

Our personal revolution calls each of us to be collectively one in Christ to fight for Him. It means to turn away from worldly individualistic self-gratification to a gathered vibrant community of believers, sacrificially working to lift up its head, who is Jesus!
— Joel Morris

“This book is a call to spiritual revolution. Each chapter points us to Jesus, the ultimate revolutionary, and shares the testimony of a faithful Christian who lived and ‘all in’ for Jesus. A short, snappy book that challenges us to go all in for the gospel and reminds us of the power of living a Jesus–centred life.”

- Mez McConnell, Pastor, Niddrie Community Church and Ministry Director of 20schemes

“I have witnessed the power of God at work in the life of Joel Morris. From a young and restive worker serving on board the missionary ship, MV LOGOS II, to someone with a focused sense of God’s purpose in his life. Revolutionary God is about that transformational power. The Gospel that changes lives. This book challenges that longing in you to live a life totally committed to the Lord Jesus Christ.”

- Lawrence Tong, International Director, Operation Mobilisation

“Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin. Joel is a restless revolutionary, an engineer by background, who gave it all up to help equip the church for a new reformation. This book is his clarion call to the church to go back to its revolutionary roots. Filled with challenges, encouragements, stories and hope, this book will push you deeper into the mission of God. Are you sitting comfortably? I hope not.”

- Jonathan Thomas, Pastor of Cornerstone Church, Abergavenny, Wales
