“This is a very comprehensive book that brings clarity on the Great Commission theologically, historically, and with practical implications for the local church. Every follower of Jesus Christ should be equipped with the principles in this book in order to obey the Great Commission. We are entrenched in a battle for the souls of our family, friends, and neighbors; the tools and principles presented in this book are proven to aid in expanding God’s kingdom, until there is no place left where the gospel of Jesus Christ has not been preached (Romans 15:23). For me, greater than the book itself are the men who wrote it―men who are impacting the spread of the gospel by not only ‘knowing,’ but ‘being’ and doing Great Commission activities. These are men to follow as they make disciples of the nations!” Jeff Sundell, Chief Strategy Officer, E3 Partner and cofounder of the "No Place Left" movement
