Abstract The overall concept of Great Commission is that “many times in Scripture it appears that while God is always our object of worship, the concept of obtaining salvation (evangelism) appears to be the motivation.”1 Authors Wheeler and Whaley intertwine their experience in the areas of worship and evangelism and present to readers a great book that pursues to describe the main focus of the Christian and Church. Evangelism is understood as spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The main points proclaimed in the book are worship and evangelism. “Since the Christian life is meant to be an open invitation to join Christ ‘on mission’ as obedient multiplying believers, evangelism and worship are both hatched from the same egg. Ultimately, it is impossible to claim one without the other.”2 Worship and evangelism is a spiritual ingredient to Believers who desire to live a life of obedience unto God. God created us in His image to glorify and worship Him, and He poured out His spirit so we as Believers can be His true disciples. A Great Commission worshiper is an individual completely sold out for Jesus Christ. He is willing to be lead by God and because of his love for Him; he is more than willing to share with others his relationship with Jesus Christ. The author’s goal is to conjoined worship and evangelism. A worshipper who is obedient to God’s Word shares the love of God by evangelizing.
