A renowned teacher and writer, Dallas Willard, offers a timely and challenging call back to the true meaning of Christian discipleship. He weaves biblical teaching, popular culture, science, scholarship, and spiritual practice into a compelling narrative that emphasizes the need for profound changes in how we view our lives and faith. In an era when many Christians see Jesus as a distant savior, Willard argues for the relevance of God in every aspect of existence. He presents Christ's teachings in a fresh way, inviting seekers to experience God as an integral part of the present, rather than just the afterlife. Willard observes that many contemporary Christians lack a compelling sense of the importance of understanding and conforming to Christ's teachings, often viewing obedience as impossible. He critiques the prevalent notion that Christianity's primary function is merely to secure admission to heaven, labeling this as "consumer Christianity" and "bumper-sticker faith." By refuting the "fire escape" mentality, he explores the true nature of Jesus' teachings, which call for His followers to embrace discipleship and access the abundant life available now. Willard challenges readers to move beyond the politics and pieties of modern Christian practice, inspiring a rejection of lukewarm faith in favor of a more authentic and transformative discipleship.
