Go and Do Likewise: A Call to Follow Jesus in a Life of Mercy and Mission

Learning to Extend God’s Compassion to Those Who Need It Most 

In love, Jesus came to redeem sinful people and restore a fallen world, and he invites all of his followers to join this good work. But how can believers effectively care for their neighbours when life is so marred by sin and suffering? Is it possible for ordinary Christians to participate in God’s mission to restore a broken world?

From a theological perspective, Go and Do Likewise explores God’s grand story of redemption to uncover how ordinary Christians can extend God’s compassion to those in need. Author Amy DiMarcangelo builds on biblical principles and provides discussion questions for everyday application. This practical book encourages believers to joyfully engage in Christ’s mission—relying on the gospel to spur mercy, justice, and generosity to those who need it most.

“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.”

“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.”
