The Second Greatest Commandment Meets The Great Commission
by Nancy Golden
God calls each of us to share our faith, and has given each of us everything we need to do so effectively. Our problem all too often is fear—not ability. The Second Greatest Commandment Meets the Great Commission is an eight week study designed to help you use your God-given talents to become a confident and effective witness for Christ. It is about how to “be comfortable in your own skin” knowing that the real work is done by the Holy Spirit. It is about simply loving people.
“I appreciate Nancy Golden’s unique blend of biblical scholarship and personal experience, which both enlightens the mind and warms the heart; what a refreshing book on the topic of evangelism! The Second Greatest Commandment Meets the Great Commission restores evangelism to its rightful place in our minds as disciples of Christ and does so clearly and effectively. Christ never meant evangelism to be approached with fear, trembling, and the gnashing of teeth, but as Nancy so cleverly writes,Have fun—give yourself permission to enjoy yourself—and your friends will too. Evangelism is easy, just love your neighbor. I would certainly use this book for a Wednesday night Bible study or a seminar on evangelism. I’m confident that it will be a blessing to many a congregation.”
Chad Burton / Senior Pastor, Living Word Global Church
“The prospect of sharing our faith—evangelism—can be daunting for many of us. In her book The Second Greatest Commandment Meets The Great Commission, Nancy Golden reminds us of our responsibility to share the good news of Jesus with others and offers practical suggestions for real world application. Nancy’s book is a great reminder that sharing our faith is really just about using the gifts God has given us to reach people for Christ—it is mostly about being ourselves and letting the Holy Spirit do the work. I know that you will be blessed by Nancy’s writing and, even more importantly, that this book will help you to be a blessing to others.”
John Crews / Executive Pastor, The Heartland Church
“We are told that The Second Greatest Commandment is to ‘love our neighbors as ourselves,’ but we rarely associate this commandment with sharing the Gospel. This study shows the believer how ‘loving our neighbor’ can become our greatest evangelism tool.”
