The Spirit of the Disciplines: Understanding

How to Live as Jesus Lived Dallas Willard, one of today's most brilliant Christian thinkers and author of The Divine Conspiracy ( Christianity Today's 1999 Book of the Year), 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. The Spirit of the Disciplines is for everyone who strives to be a disciple of Jesus in thought and action as well as intention.

Dallas Willard, a professor at the University of Southern California's School of Philosophy, has held visiting appointments at UCLA and the University of Colorado. A Southern Baptist Minister, his ground-breaking books In Search of Guidance and The Divine Conspiracy have forever changed the way thousands of Christians experience their faith.
