Summary
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.

Not sure about this
I liked “What if it’s True” and was excited to read/listen to this one... but I was disappointed. I feel like the title is misleading. There is very little of re-telling the stories of the apostles post Jesus’ resurrection and a LOT of what seems to be Martin’s main message- that we as believers are called to heal sickness and cast out demons. Belief differences aside, I just wish I would have known that that is what this book is about. I went in expecting stories of the apostles and instead had hours and hours of Martin’s viewpoint on healing, casting our demons, etc. He’s a great writer. This book was just not what it was advertised to be.

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.

Direct and personable
This book reads like a Bible study. It is a welcome soul searching narrative of God’s work in us today. Jesus’ message has not changed, it’s still the same for us as it was for the disciples. in the first century. I intend to read it again and again.

Blew me away! (In a good way.)
My favorite fiction author has become my favorite non-fiction author. Even if you don't agree with all of his theology, you have to have to admire his arguments.

Read it, listen to it….either way….THIS is a must read.
Our nation is in trouble. We see it everywhere, hear it everywhere. The events at Asbury college have caught the attention of many, The mass killings are is also catching our attention, My friends, Washington, D.C. does not have the answer and can not correct the problem. I believe God is our only hope. This book, in my opinion, is a call to action from God himself. It will take courage. It will take dedication. It will take surrender. It will take tough skin. It will take endurance, Mr, Martin, thank you for putting your convictions, your emotions, your Bible knowledge/study and your story-telling on paper/in a recording, and sharing it with the world. I have heard God through your words, calling me to get off the fence. In truth, I need to get on HIS side of the fence and remove the gate allowing me to waiver and retreat. Prayers for you and your ministry, and your band of brothers as you continue the mission of Turning This World Upside Down!
