LONGWOOD, FL-The Great Commission, or Jesus' parting command to His disciples to evangelize the world, encompasses four instructions about the spread of faith to all nations and laid the future groundwork for modern-day evangelism. Russell and Christy DeWitt, coauthors of The Red Letters of Matthew (paperback, 978-1-60266-086-1), seek to expound upon Jesus' words, which have been changing lives for more than 2,000 years. Fulfilling the Great Commission is the will of God for every Christian, they believe, and they hope to minister to others through some of Jesus' most important commands.
"The Red Letters of Matthew gives people a deeper understanding of Jesus through examining His Word concerning life's issues," say the authors. "It is a ministry to the unsaved and saved, a handy reference tool, a counseling tool, and a discipleship tool."
The topics Jesus addressed in Matthew are listed in two separate indexes located in the front of the book. The book is an excellent study aid for anybody seeking insight into the words of Christ. It is a useful tool for counseling, study, and discipleship. The DeWitts believe that, when used in conjunction with the Bible, it will stimulate a deeper relationship with God for readers and bring wisdom, understanding, and knowledge to every area of their lives.
Russell and Christy DeWitt make their home in northern California. Russell attended Luther College and his studies included work on a modern English translation of the Bible. Christy attended Oklahoma State University where she studied journalism. Russell and Christy attend and serve in a non-denominational church and are active participants at their local House of Prayer. They both enjoy writing and playing worship music together.
