Becoming Dallas Willard
LETTER BY BRIAN MORYKON
Dallas Willard gets mentioned a lot around here. With good reason — it’s just not often you come across “a person with the rare combination of exceptional brilliance and unadulterated goodness,” as Richard Foster put it in the foreword of the new biography, Becoming Dallas Willard.
We’re featuring that foreword again in case you missed it a couple months ago. And this week there is a new and very special podcast with Gary Moon, author of Becoming Dallas Willard, and Rebecca Willard Heatley, Dallas’s daughter.
Fasting was one of the key spiritual disciplines Dallas spoke about and practiced. Continuing with this month’s theme are two pieces: an excerpt from Celebration of Discipline to remind us of the purpose of fasting, and a practical guide on fasting from Adele Calhoun.
