100 Years From Now by the president and co-founder, Steve
Murrell, states: "100 Years From Now explores the importance of Formerly Morning Star
understanding mission, values, and culture in order to grow and called International
[7]
sustain a movement." The book details the multigenerational
focus of the movement, with leaders desiring to pass on its vision by building its future through developing
young leaders on campuses and within the Every Nation movement. Joey Bonifacio, an Every Nation
pastor published The Lego Principle, which was cited by LifeWay Research president Ed Stetzer in an
Outreach Magazine article examining successful practices for churches that prioritize membership growth
not only in numbers, but in personal — or spiritual — development.[8] Bonifacio’s The Lego Principle
argues the importance of discipleship based on the two greatest biblical commandments according to Jesus
Christ, to “love God” and “love your neighbor.”[9]

Media
The movie God's Not Dead was inspired by Rice Broocks' God's Not Dead book. Though it received poor
critic reviews[11] and was produced on a small budget, it still managed to more than triple in profit.[12] The
next movie, God's Not Dead 2, leads from Rice Broocks' Man, Myth, Messiah.[13] Rice Broocks is said to
have written portions of the script[14] and appears in the movie along with his Man Myth Messiah book.
