The author of "In Search of Guidance" and "The Spirit of the Disciplines" explores a revolutionary way for Christians to experience God.

Willard gracefully weaves biblical teaching, popular culture, science, scholarship, and spiritual practice into a tour de force that shows the necessity of profound changes in how one views life and faith.

“It is essential to the human being to find knowledge on which to base life,” says Dr. Willard, and he argues that the present-day University is defective in this regard because it fails to take seriously the moral and religious life of the student.

The last command Jesus gave the church before he ascended to heaven was the Great Commission, the call for Christians to "make disciples of all the nations."

Being close to God means communicating with him--telling him what is on our hearts in prayer and hearing and understanding what he is saying to us. It is this second half of our conversation with God that is so important but that can also be so difficult.

Dr. Willard is a well-renowned, well-regarded Christian scholar and author.

A high school student reared in a Christian home turns to drugs and alcohol. A woman tries to stop criticizing others—for ten years. A father knows he needs more patience with his children, but his efforts seem in vain.

Dallas Willard, one of today's most brilliant Christian thinkers and author of The Divine Conspiracy (Christianity Today's 1999 Book of the Year), presents a way of living that enables ordinary men and women to enjoy the fruit of the Christian life.

Against the oft-heard claims of a culture that denies the existence of human nature and places feelings and desires at the center of human existence, Dr. Willard insists that the purpose of human life is to love and serve others and to be loved and served by them.
