To say that I have enjoyed this book is an understatement. It is biblical, thought provoking, insightful and inspiring. Some things in the Scripture are obvious and some seem not to be — but — once you look become obvious. The Great Commission not only establishes a mission but also a strategy as revealed by the careful study of God’s Word done by David Andersen in his book Christ's Kingdom Commission — It is exciting is to see how the Apostles in general and Paul in particular embrace this commission by employing the strategy of the Great Commission in where they would go for evangelism, discipleship and church planting. Read it! You will enjoy it and my guess is that your ministry strategy to fulfill the Great Commission will be significantly enhanced.

Christ’s Kingdom Commission by David J. Andersen is a well written, thoughtful, and most importantly, a biblical approach to evangelism and world missions. Although the strategy set forth in this book may at first seem novel, it is not. Rather, it is a biblical strategy that has simply been forgotten. Based upon the labors of the Apostle Paul and the early church, Brother Andersen shows us that we need to take the gospel to "kings and all who are in authority" (I Timothy 2:2) with boldness, love, and compassion. The world will not be changed by political conservative movements, but by men and women who go "to and fro weeping, carrying their bag of seed." It is only the faithful gospel witness who shall "come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him" (Psalm 126:6). This insightful book stands upon the belief that the gospel is the power of God (Romans 1:16) that is able to save the pauper and the king, and to transform an entire nation!
