They Turned the World Upside Down

A Storyteller's Journey with Those Who Dared to Follow Jesus

By: Charles Martin

Narrated by: Charles Martin

In the aftermath of Jesus' resurrection, the testimonies of those who had followed him were so bold and powerful that they turned the world upside down. What would happen if we lived with that same kind of faith today?

In the first century, believer didn’t just mean someone who heard and agreed with Jesus; it meant someone who acted on that belief. And when the outside world saw the faith of these new believers, they declared “they turned the world upside down” (Acts 17:6).

In this follow-up to What If It's True?, Charles Martin, a New York Times best-selling novelist, blends storytelling and teaching to explore the lives of the disciples in the aftermath of the Resurrection and as they spread the message of the Gospel and “turn the world upside down”, leading up to Paul’s ministry in Thessalonica. In his beloved lyrical style, Martin illuminates key moments from Scripture and shares stories from his own life as a disciple.

Learn to become a believer who:

• Understands how the truth of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection so powerfully reshaped history
• Uses the lives of the disciples as inspiration to be the light in a dark world
• Lives every moment with the disciples’ same world-changing faith today

Filled with supporting Scripture and beautiful examples of prayers to offer as supplications before the throne of grace, this book will show you what our world could look like if we lived as the disciples did: with an unwavering confidence in the power and presence of God.

The appendixes are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

He went there!

Mr Martin sensitively, yet unapologetically, delved into scripture to show what d Bible says about those ‘controversial’ topics that have split believers and birthed incongruous denominations. From speaking in tongues to spiritual gifts, from healing to deliverance and casting out devils, it’s all there. But my biggest takeaway from this book is—don’t judge scripture by your experience. Exalt Jesus and His word above everything. And don’t give up just because your experience and scripture don’t align. Don’t quit. Keep pressing in and you will see.

Inspired!

Charles Martin is an incredibly talented author. I’ve listened to 3/4 of his works. Can’t wait for my next read!
Thank you Mr. Martin

Love listening over and over

I love how the author retells the life of Jesus as if he was there. I can listen to it over and over again. It’s a casual and personal look at the greatest man that ever walked this earth. I’m completely impressed Charles Martin has won me over I’m a fan.

AMAZING!!!

I encourage all Christian’s to read this book if they are new Christian’s or Christian’s who want to grow in their faith and what God has called us to do.

Thank you for the modern day true story

Absolutely brilliant, I can’t get enough of Charles Martin writing and heart for Jesus Christ.

Inspirational book

A book everyone should read and follow. I give it a five star going to look for more books by Thomas Martin.

Probably one of the most thought provoking and challenging booksI have ever read and listened to.

A friend suggested I listen to Charles Martin “and they turned the world upside down”. I did and loved it so much I went out and bought a hardcopy. Then my friend, and I had a Bible study each week, taking a chapter and writing a goal we could take from the chapter. It was an excellent study even though so much was written in Mr. Martin storytelling style. Thank you, Mr. Martin for your comprehensive and illustrative study of Jesus’s life and of Acts of the apostles.

Another Excellent Read

Incredible, true, story telling by Charles Martin. Thought and action provoking.

This and What if it's True are must reads!

Run to the Battle

With passion and conviction, Charles Martin encourages believers to live out there faith with joy and power. He reminds us it is still a battle. And like it or not, you are in it.

WOW!!

I have been listening to this book every other night, switching with "What If Its True", for the past 2-1/2 months. Charles Martin's love for Almighty God oozes throughout both of these books. I believe that both of these books are anointed by Holy Spirit. FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. Each of us that are followers of Jesus Christ should give a copy of each of these books to our friends/family that are not believers. In fact every believer should have a copy. Thank you Charles Martin for being obedient to our ABBA.
