Jesus's Last Command—Ignored! The last command Jesus gave the church before he ascended to heaven was the Great Commission, the call for Christians to "make disciples of all the nations." But Christians have responded by making "Christians," not "disciples." This, according to brilliant scholar and renowned Christian thinker Dallas Willard, has been the church's Great Omission.

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.

"God spoke to me." "The Spirit spoke to my heart." "God revealed the idea to me." Being close to God means communicating with him--telling him what is on our hearts in prayer and hearing and understanding what he is saying to us. It is this second half of our conversation with God that is so important but that can also be so difficult. How do we hear his voice? How can we be sure that what we think we hear is not our own subconscious? What role does the Bible play? What if what God says to us is not clear? The key, says best-selling author Dallas Willard, is to focus not so much on individual actions and decisions as on building our personal relationship with our Creator. In this updated classic, originally published as In Search of Guidance, the author provides rich spiritual insight into how we can hear God's voice clearly and develop an intimate partnership with him in the work of his kingdom.

The exploration of Jesus's parables in this collection reveals profound insights into faith and the transformative power of God's love. Through previously unpublished materials, the author delves into the radical nature of the kingdom, offering readers practical guidance to deepen their spiritual lives and embrace a fuller existence. This work encourages a deeper understanding of how to live in alignment with the surprising and inclusive love of God.
