In The Great Commission to Worship, two men from distinct missionary and worship backgrounds sort through their differences related to the Great Commission vs. the Great Commandment debate. Together they develop a strategy for worship that does not exclude our responsibility to engage in worship. Likewise, they unpack an approach to worship that does not ignore or marginalize the biblical mandate to evangelism. Looking at the intertwining relationship between worship and evangelism as the foundation for the fulfillment of the Great Commission, they define the Great Commision Worshipper, a person totally and equally committed to evangelism and worship-- and a spiritual process that is formational, transformational, relational, missional, commissional, and reproducible. Each chapter includes five "life questions" for reader reflection while the book concludes with steps for practical application and ten principles for developing "lifestyle worship evangelism."
