Book Review: Multiply by Francis Chan
Another book is in the books, ha! This was the second book I finished this year and it was another great one. I chose Multiply by Francis Chan for two reasons:
- Because I heard it was good! Really, this was one of my first thoughts. Many friends whose opinion I respect had mentioned that this was a great book.
- The theme of the book is evangelism. This is such a great topic that I think every Christian can use encouragement on!
I’m typically a quick reader, but with kiddos running around it can be difficult to read much at a time. So my goal has been to read one chapter a day, and so far it’s been easy enough to stick with! Multiply is a fairly large book and it took me a bit to get through it, but by the end of it I wasn’t ready for it to be over! Francis Chan does a wonderful job of breaking down the gospel and giving a great Biblical timeline of the Israelites journey to the promised land and what ensued after.
Each chapter has around eight questions sprinkled throughout it to answer as you read. I really loved this aspect of the book! The questions kept me focused and gave me extra to think about even after I finished a chapter. (#ProTip: write your answers in an extra journal besides the book so you can loan the book out to friends/family when you’re finished!) Many of the questions also had me reading long passages of scripture that I had to go find and read in my Bible. I appreciated this too as it helped me become more familiar with my Bible.
Multiply doesn’t jump straight into points on evangelizing, but sets the stage by walking through a Biblical timeline. Once the stage was set, I felt more prepared to receive the chapters regarding evangelism. Overall, I ended the book feeling challenged yet encouraged by this book. My Biblical knowledge was strengthened and my heart was convicted. I absolutely recommend this book if you want to gain boldness, knowledge, and more in your walk with Christ.
