Multiplying Groups How Dawson Trotman and Bill Bright Influenced a Generation of Pastors Like J.D. Grear, David Platt, Francis Chan and Tim Keller to Embrace a Vision for Multiplying Groups.

The story begins with a simple grain of rice: one grain on the first square of a chessboard, two on the second, four on the third, and so on. By the 64th square, the number is staggering-over 18 quintillion grains, more than the world could produce. This ancient tale of exponential growth captures the same principle that drives multiplying groups: small, consistent actions that, over time, result in extraordinary impact.

In Multiplying Groups, Josh Hunt explores how this principle has fueled some of the most dynamic movements in church history. Drawing from the groundbreaking work of Dawson Trotman (Born to Reproduce) and Bill Bright (founder of Campus Crusade for Christ), Hunt shows how their vision inspired a generation of pastors like J.D. Greear, David Platt, Francis Chan, and Tim Keller to embrace the power of multiplying groups.

This book combines research-backed strategies, real-life stories, and practical tools to help churches and leaders unleash the potential of group multiplication. It's not about flashy programs or numerical success-it's about changed lives, deeper discipleship, and communities transformed by the gospel.

If you're ready to join a movement that's changing the world one group at a time, this book will equip and inspire you to take the next step. Because the power of multiplication isn't just theory-it's the gospel in action.
