Summary
The revered Christian author whose best-selling classics include The Divine Conspiracy and The Spirit of the Disciplines provides a new model for how we can present the Christian faith to others.
When Christians share their faith, they often appeal to reason, logic, and the truth of doctrine. But these tactics often are not effective. A better approach to spread Christ's word, Dallas Willard suggests, is to use the example of our own lives. To demonstrate Jesus's message, we must be transformed people living out a life reflective of Jesus himself, a life of love, humility, and gentleness.
This beautiful model of life - this allure of gentleness - Willard argues, is the foundation for making the most compelling argument for Christianity, one that will convince others that there is something special about Christianity and the Jesus we follow.

Superb Guidance on sharing your faith
This book really resonated with me because the language and presentation of content was approachable. The narrator was also a great match as I felt he was in the room with me talking to me as if we were friends.
This made the experience so natural and easy to consume.
This will be one book I look forward to reading again and again.
Highly recommended! 😃

Excellent, wise teaching
Willard deals with the hard questions, and he teaches us how to adopt the life of Christ so that it is attractive and it makes sense. He shows a way to live that is so clearly grounded in the realities of the kingdom of God, that the people of the kingdom to not have to holler and be angry and defensive in talking about their lives. Their lives work, and so their words can be gentle.

How did I miss knowing about Dallas Willard for so long?? He is a man with amazing insight, the like of which I have rarely encountered in my fairly long life. I will listen to this many times to gain understanding and wisdom. And gentleness!

Another Fantastic Dallas Willard Bbok
Dallas a Willard takes our fear out of Christian apologetics and simplifies it, yet not making apologetics simplistic. He keeps the meat, the breadth and depth, yet makes it understandable.
This is a must read/listen for understanding the Christian life as Jesus intends.
