Everything should launch this week. Exciting stuff. May God bless this new and exciting lense on global church growth.
I’m confused: is this different from the 2015 book published by Thomas Nelson? https://www.thomasnelson.com/the-kingdom-unleashed
This book has a different cover (with the same style) and a different subtitle.
The link to the Amazon page has the 2015 cover.
I’m interested in the answer to this question, too. I can’t find my copy of the first book with this title but vaguely remember it. Best guess is they purchased/arranged with TN for the rights to revise and republish it but aren’t making that clear? Preview on Amazon suggests introductions, etc.
With so many fairly similar books about people movements available, I’m not sure what to recommend to whom.
Thomas Nelson has canceled the publishing of the printed book

We’ve asked Jerry to interpret the situation for us more perfectly. From what we can see, his first book (2012) was entitled, “Miraculous Movements: How Hundreds of Thousands of Muslims Are Falling in Love with Jesus.” So the 2012 book is “Miraculours Movements,” and the 2018 book is “The Kingdom Unleashed.” Where’s the confusion?
Jerry already responded! He wrote, “”The book Kingdom Unleashed was originally going to be a Thomas Nelson book but my co-author Dr. Glenn Sunshine and I knew that we would need a year or more to research and write it. After we signed the contract, there was a request to do the book in a few months. We tried very hard to do that but we were very discouraged that there was not going to be time to give it the full treatment that it needed. Within a couple of months however, Thomas Nelson decided to liquidate that division with 30 books in process. But they wanted to keep The Kingdom Unleashed because Miraculous Movement was a best seller for them. But when they could not find an editor with time to do the book, we got the rights reverted back to Glenn and me. That was in 2015 and the old cover has been on the internet until recently when Nelson/Harper Collins was kind to scrub the old images so the new book could be released. This was actually a gift from God, because it took us more than 3 years to research and write the book that is just now being released. Jerry Trousdale”
