Sorry to inform that Dallas Willard is NOT the author of this book...,

This review is from: Revolution of Character: Discovering Christ's Pattern for Spiritual Transformation (Hardcover)
The way this book is advertised is a bit misleading. Dallas Willard writes a 2 page 'Note to the reader' in the beginning of the book stating "The text of this book has been composed ENTIRELY by Don Simpson...".Hmmmm... Ok. Well why didn't they just say that Don Simpson is the author in the first place? Would it be politically correct to call this 'ethically-challenged advertising'? With that aside, here's what the book actually is. It's Don Simpson's interpretation of Dallas Willard's popular book, 'Renovation Of The Heart'. I like 'Renovation Of The Heart' very much. If you want to know what 'Revolution Of Character' is like, simply read the reviews for 'Renovation Of The Heart'. The only difference here is that Don uses a slightly more down to earth writing style than Dallas does. In and of themselves, both books are excellent and IMO worth 5 stars. However, I have to knock a couple stars off this one simply due to the publisher's marketing 'techniques'.

This review is from: Revolution of Character: Discovering Christ's Pattern for Spiritual Transformation (Hardcover)
This is classic Dallas Willard, one of the best authors for explaining in both philosophical and practical terms spiritual transformation through discipline.His teaching that our spiritual condition is a product of our daily choices and decisions, and the only way to change them is by following the teachings of Jesus, is both clear and challenging. He is the only author that I have read who discribes the spiritual disciplines in such a way that I felt sure that to learn them would truly change me at the deepest level and give me the best possible relationship with God. A great book !

A Concise, Helpful Introduction to Spiritual Transformation,

This review is from: Revolution of Character: Discovering Christ's Pattern for Spiritual Transformation (Hardcover)
This is another important work containing Dallas Willard's thoughts, interpreted by Simpson, that makes more accessible the main themes of his larger book Renovation of the Heart. While reading 'Renovation' may be best for some, those who prefer a shorter work that captures the essence of Willard's ideas might do better to start with Revolution of Character. Both works provide a clear understanding of the process of spiritual transformation and give practical advice on how to open our lives to the transforming work of the grace of God through Jesus Christ. Highly Recommended.
