The Forgotten Manifesto of Jesus

Something remarkable is happening across the Middle East. A counter-cultural gospel movement is growing disciples of Jesus deep within the heartland of Islam.Starting in Iran, a radical form of evangelism and discipleship, predominantly led by brand new believers, has begun to spread across Muslim majority nations. Author Phil Moore shares the first-hand stories of these courageous Middle Eastern Christians and compares them to the words of Jesus to his seventy-two disciples in Luke 10. The striking similarities between their experiences show how this spectacular move of God relies on the same instruction, and Spirit, as the first followers of Jesus.And it does not stop there. Phil goes on to share how this gospel movement is now spreading across Europe and North America. If you long to see new believers coming to faith in the secular post-Christian West too, then let the testimonies in The Forgotten Manifesto of Jesus show you that with God all things are possible.

"I enjoy reading Phil Moore's books. He writes about Jesus and the Christian life with perception, wisdom, and wit." -- Nicky Gumbel, founder of the Alpha Course
"Phil has wonderfully captured the heart of Jesus' strategy for reaching the lost; a strategy which is bearing fruit in multiple places in the Muslim world today. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to make disciples and see churches that multiply." -- Mike Jones, British director of Frontiers
"The only thing more exciting than what God is doing right now in Iran is the way that it is starting to spread across the world. I love the way that Phil Moore tells this story and gives us practical learnings to help us make disciples wherever we are. Buy this book, read it, and be inspired!" -- Simon Guillebaud, host of the Inspired! podcast and leader of Great Lakes Outreach, Burundi
"This book is a unique opportunity to hear directly from leaders of the underground church in the Middle East, as they reveal the astonishing ways God has moved throughout their region. Brimming with hard-learned lessons and God-given strategies to thrive amid increasing cultural opposition, it is a prophetic call to action, to return to the often forgotten message of Jesus to his first disciples." -- Joel Richardson, New York Times bestselling author and narrator of the Sheep Among Wolves documentaries about the persecuted church
"Phil has managed to simplify and codify many of the practices being used to introduce men and women around the world to their Father in heaven. Phil unearths a simple, repeatable process for bringing heaven to earth that is hidden in plain sight in Luke 10. This book is a toolkit for allowing the kingdom of Jesus to invade where you live, learn, work, or play." -- Roy Moran, author of Spent Matches
"This book is a gem! Phil connects the dots to show us that the commissioning of the Seventy-Two in Luke 10 provides us with detailed instructions from Jesus on how to accomplish his Great Commission. Packed with powerful stories from disciple-making movements in Iran, India, and elsewhere, this is a practical and inspirational book both for those new to disciple-multiplication concepts and for those who’ve walked this journey for a while. If you are longing to see more happen in your church or ministry and to see disciples made and multiplied, then buy this book, study it with a group, and put its principles into practice." -- Cynthia Anderson, Director of Youth with a Mission Disciple making Movements (YWAM DMMs) Frontier Missions, author of The Multiplier's Mindset and host of the Dare to Multiply podcast
"If you want to have a massive kingdom impact, this book is a must read! Rarely do you find a theologian and a practitioner wrapped in the same package, but Phil Moore is that man. He not only studies movements across the world, he also lives out their principles every day and trains people to do the same. In The Forgotten Manifesto of Jesus, you will discover inspiring stories of a disciple-making movement in Iran, alongside practical biblical steps to see a similar movement where you are. If you know that disciple-making is the answer but haven't yet cracked the code, this book is required reading!" -- Josh Howard, New Thing Network, Director of Central Asia
"I love reading Phil Moore's books. He's always fresh and hugely thought-provoking." Andrew Wilson, author of Incomparable and Remaking the World
"Packed with heart-warming, faith-building testimonies from the persecuted church, The Forgotten Manifesto of Jesus helpfully unpacks Jesus' commissioning words to the Seventy-Two evangelists in Luke 10. This book confirms what I consistently witness in student ministry: the good news of Jesus is unstoppable, and is transforming lives in places that we think are unreachable. Read it and be inspired to be a disciple-maker in the mission field of your life." -- Tim Adams, General Secretary, International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES)
