Addressing similar themes to Renovation of the Heart in a more user-friendly style, Dallas Willard considers the primary reason we fail in our spiritual life, that is, not carefully considering the roles played by all five elements of personhood: heart, mind, body, social life, and soul. Real change comes when we give each element thoughtful and prayerful exposure to God’s transforming work. A more holistic consideration produces new ways of responding to life and results in profoundly changed character. God is ready to transform every aspect of your life, and Revolution of Character keeps this intention in sight.
