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.

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.

Excellent, wise teaching

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.

Dallas Willard's approach to Christian Apologetics is refreshing. He has restored my faith in it after so many people have misused it to clobber the doubters. Thank you, Dallas, for the renewed approach.

I will not rate this as one of his greatest works, but it is vintage DW and you will once again be challenged to rethink how you approach the Christian life

Willard's apologia

This is apologetics as the reasonable outworking of a life together with God rather than techniques or answers to common questions. It is one of the best and most holistic books on the topic I know, aiming for knowledge and understanding and not merely trying to get the reader to do apologetics.

Apologetics as discipleship

As always I am thankful for my brothers and sisters in Christ for sharing the beautiful wisdom given them. Very insightful. Praise be to God!
