About this ebook

As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesn’t change our hearts. Only by God’s grace can we be transformed internally. Renovation of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for understanding what best-selling author Dallas Willard calls the “transformation of the spirit”—a divine process that “brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God.”

This fresh approach to spiritual growth explains the biblical reasons why Christians need to undergo change in six aspects of life: thought, feeling, will, body, social context, and soul. Willard also outlines a general pattern of transformation in each area, not as a sterile formula but as a practical process that you can follow without the guilt or perfectionism so many Christians wrestle with.

Don’t settle for complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers to become an intentional apprentice of Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.

Ratings and reviews

It provides good direction and insight if you are interested to renewing your heart. Unfortunately the writer is objective and opinionated about certain things which has no or litle relevance to transformation of the heart. Stick to the point Dallas, to get your message through is not about filling the pages or writing a certain amount of pages. That would apply to most writers and authors. We don't read for entertainment we read to gain knowledge.

This book is a must for anyone who wants to experience Christ as the Person that He is and then look at our Big Brother and start putting on His character for His burden is light.

Thank you makung this into an ebook. GOD bless you!
