The Great Omission: Reclaiming Jesus's Essential Teachings on Discipleship (Paperback)

~ Dallas Willard (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Jesus's last command was to go and make disciples. We have responded by making Christians. Willard challenges the idea that we can call ourselves Christians without applying our faith to every aspect of life. "The New Testament is a book about disciples, by disciples, and for disciples of Jesus Christ.," explains the author. "All the church needs to fulfill Christ's purposes on earth is the quality of life he makes real in the life of his disciples ...the greatest issue facing the world today, with all its heart-breaking needs, is whether those who are identified as Christians will become disciples." This title includes sections on being apprenticed to Jesus; Spiritual formation and the development of character; discipleship of soul and mind; and learning from classics on spiritual living.

This review is from: The Great Omission (Audio CD)

I read the bookThe Great Omission: Reclaiming Jesus's Essential Teachings on Discipleshipa couple of years ago - as usual I read from the Willard library out of order - but this book changed my life and reunited me with the God I knew as a little girl. So many things began to make sense. I bought the audio version for a long car ride and even though the reader has an "edgy" voice, the Truth comes rushing out through your speakers. Just in case you're new to God's great blessing, here are some more Dallas Willard books...The Divine Conspiracy: Rediscovering Our Hidden Life In GodThe Spirit of the Disciplines: Understanding How God Changes LivesRenovation of the Heart: Putting On the Character of ChristHearing God: Developing a Conversational Relationship With GodKnowing Christ Today: Why We Can Trust Spiritual Knowledge Find the God you always knew loved you!
