Inspiration + Instruction = Excellent Read, December 14, 2009
Throughout history great men and women have walked this earth cutting a trail through the thick brush of religious and secular culture that allows for the pathway of ministry we have today. "Revolutionaries" is a record of may of those individuals.
It's easy to take for granted the life we live today and go on our way ignorant of the work and effort of those who have gone before us. But not any more. "Revolutionaries" compiles and tells the stories of incredible world-changers found throughout history.
While some books will inspire and others will instruct, "Revolutionaries" successfully accomplishes both. Readers will find themselves cheering for the revolutionary as their eyes are opened to their story and at the same time wondering, "1,000 years from now will someone be including my name to the end of this book? Will I become a revolutionary that makes a difference?
Some of my favorite revolutionaries from this book include: Charles Wesley, Martin Luther, Francis Asbury, and Smith Wigglesworth.
This book is a must read for leaders of all ages and experiences. It should be mandatory that we understand the depth of the roots of our heritage in the body of Christ.
Thank you Matt for undertaking the research and for telling the lost stories of those in every century who revolutionized their world for Christ!

Very stirring and challenging. Wow!, November 30, 2009
I was deeply impressed and challenged by this book. Brown surveys numerous famous and not-so-famous followers of Christ who made a deep impact upon history.
It is fast moving and leaves you wanting more. It fires up your own spiritual hunger.
Great read.

Inspirational, November 12, 2010
Revolutionaries is a must read for anyone who dares to dream that God has more for them than an ordinary life. This book reads much like a modern day Hebrews chapter 11, and inspires it's readers to greater faith and action with great practical helps on how to apply revolutionary characteristics to one's own personal life.
As a youth pastor I have not only found this to be a great inspiration in my own personal life and ministry, but I also plan on making it an integral part of our student leadership training on a regular basis to train up and equip the next generation of REVOLUTIONARIES.
