New Renovaré Resource — Learning to Hear God: Two Listening Exercises
The Spirit of the Disciplines
Understanding How God Changes Lives
by Dallas Willard
Dallas Willard, author of The Divine Conspiracy, presents a way of living that enables ordinary men and women to enjoy the fruit of the Christian life. He reveals how the key to self-transformation resides in the practice of the spiritual disciplines, and how their practice affirms human life to the fullest. He does this by establishing the theological foundation of the classic Disciplines of the Spirit, discussing how they transform us into Christlikeness, and explaining that discipleship for the Christian is not an option, but a requirement. The Spirit of the Disciplines is for everyone who strives to be a disciple of Jesus in thought and action as well as intention.
