So they opportunity to do that, to just sit in a chair with him and say 'Hey, Dallas, ' and ask him those questions and see what happened in the moment, and he?ll get this little sly glint in his eye, and then he?ll just drop these statements on you that literally could not come from anybody else, partly because of his mind and partly because of his heart. I've known Dallas for about 25 years, and he has impacted me like nobody else has. His writings, his book <em>Spirit of the Disciplines</em>--outside of the Bible has had the biggest impact on my life. And so the chance to do this conference together was really powerful. Then when he got sick and it was clear that barring a miracle he was not going to be on earth for a real long time, it took on a whole added dimension of substance. We actually thought about, just given his health, should we not do the conference? And Dallas said, 'Nope, I want to do it. There are things that need to be said, and this is the chance to say it.'</p>--John Ortberg, senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church and author of Soul Keeping<br><br><p>My soul grew reading this book. Or perhaps more precisely, my soul grew as this book read me.</p>--Lee Eclov, Leadership Journal 2015 Book Awards, Winter 2015<br><br><p>Touching on many topics . . . Willard and Ortberg's collaboration here is devotional gift. It is also a compass for finding one's way through the shadows to a life lived in the kingdom with God. An essential for your library, liberally furnishing inspiration for pastors, teachers, and songwriters.</p>--Andrea Hunter, Worship Leader Magazine, March/April 2014<br><br><p>When I finished the book, I experienced a joy as deep and wide as the love of God in Christ. How many books can you say that about? Thanks, Dallas Willard, for a life well lived.</p>--Randy Harris, The Christian Chronicle, September 2014<br><br><p>Willard shares in his last book insights about the process of transforming a person into Christlikeness, the gift of stepping into the kingdom, the challenge to become a person of blessing, and more. Ortberg discusses the primacy of learning from Jesus how to live in the kingdom, the connection between the Trinity and community, the distinction between training and trying in regard to spiritual disciplines, and more. Their talks complement and build on each other.</p>--Daniel Johnson, CBA Retailers + Resources, January 2014<br>
