Advance Praise
“I was challenged by this book in the best ways. Each chapter quickened my heart to Christ’s. Amy DiMarcangelo reminded me of the real words and deeds and calling of my Savior. That alone was so encouraging. But then she showed me how to go and do likewise in my own life and context. This book is both worshipful and practical. It can feel overwhelming to see the needs of the world and not know how to engage. But I ended the book with both the peace of my sovereign Savior and the urgency of his call to go. If you want to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, start here.”
—Jen Oshman, author, Enough about Me and Cultural Counterfeits; Women’s Ministry Coordinator, Redemption Parker, Colorado
“Too often Christians feel like they have to choose between the Great Commission and the Great Commandment, between compassion and conviction. Scripture, however, doesn’t allow us to do that. Amy DiMarcangelo walks readers through the pages of Scripture, joyfully inviting them to engage in Christ’s mission to redeem and restore. If you love Jesus and want to follow him into a lost and dying world, you’ll want to pick up this book.”
—Daniel Darling, Director, The Land Center for Cultural Engagement; Columnist, WORLD; author, The Dignity Revolution; The Characters of Christmas; and Agents of Grace
“I’ve never read a book that speaks to mission quite the way Amy DiMarcangelo’s does. This is a missions book for ordinary folk—nonheroic Christians who are faithful but need fresh lights pointing in new directions. DiMarcangelo helps us by navigating a wise and compelling course—not veering into guilt motivation, but at the same time not letting us comfortable Christians applaud but stay out of the game. She balances ‘go take risks’ and ‘stay and support well,’ physical needs and spiritual needs, justice and mercy, compassion and wisdom. DiMarcangelo’s writing and life are driven by an infectious passion to glorify Jesus in tangible and self-denying ways. It’s a passion that always circles back to biblical truth and gospel focus. DiMarcangelo speaks challenge to my comfort, faith to my fears, and tasks to my hands. Let her do the same for you.”
—Andy Farmer, pastor; author, Ordinary Greatness: A Life of Elias Boudinot
“Go and Do Likewise is a compelling call to ordinary Christians—all Christians—to join the mission of gospel-fueled mercy and justice. With great wisdom and humility, Amy DiMarcangelo challenges and inspires readers with a thoroughly biblical, Christ-exalting view of missional living. This book is equal parts theological and practical. It will do more than encourage and convict you, it will inform and equip you. Most of it all, it will lead you to a deeper love of Jesus and a greater love of those he loves. Go and Do Likewise has gained a permanent place on my shelf, and I plan to reread it—and reorient my heart to its message—on a regular basis.”
—Jamie Finn, author, Foster the Family
