This is a great book. It goes to the heart of the discipleship deficit in the Church of our day, with some good practical steps that we can take to address this in our own lives. Where many books complain about the state of the cChurch, Dallas Willard points to the issues, and gives us a robust way of addressing them. Reading this book as a Pastor is challenging and exciting - things can not be the same again.

The book is slightly disjointed in places as it is a collection of lectures and articles but nonetheless is a very worthwhile, positive and helpful read. ( )

what's missing today is the part about teaching everyone to obey all things - separation of salvation from character means a diminshed sense of salvation. We have lost the connection between following Jesus in all aspects of ones life. Eternal living starts now. He that has the Son has life. Salvation is the doorway to life in the Spirit with God. The house is meant to be lived in, ocupied, all of it, all of our lives.

I loved this book. I found it very insightful. I especially appreciated hearing about the books and authors that Willard has found helpful. ( )
