Duración: 18 h y 1 m

Resumen del Editor

In The Divine Conspiracy, Dallas Willard gracefully weaves biblical teaching, popular culture, science, scholarship, and spiritual practice into a tour de force that shows the necessity of profound change in how we view our lives and faith.

In an era in which many Christians consider Jesus a beloved but remote savior, Willard argues compellingly for the relevance of God to every aspect of our existence. Masterfully capturing the central insights of Christ's teachings in a fresh way for today's seekers, he helps us to explore a revolutionary way to experience God by knowing him as an essential part of the here and now, rather than only as part of the hereafter.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Willard's passionate insights are thoroughly argued." (Library Journal)

A Book I Hold Especially Dear

I have read and now listened to this book probably a dozen times total, with plans for more... And I read or listen to good authorship/critique all the time. It is not uncommon for me to look at the vast amount of things on my iPod, from Public Radio to Comedy to LOST episodes, and just be like, ehhh... 'Why not plug into the mother of all ideas...' that Christ is reigning right now and that might I connect into it and benefit (a la "The Divine Conspiracy"). This to say, what Dallas achieves in this book is extraordinary -- I say this having been a lifetime Christian, but not until this book having the right framework for actually following Jesus in all of his brilliance, care, and ability. If you know about Dallas Willard, you know that he has been Professor at a top mainstream university (Univ. So. California) for 30+ years. He's no cultural Christian. He has applied immense thought, careful debate, and great humility when it comes to considering Jesus Christ and what it means to follow him. This book is an outflow of this. I know of no other living author like Dallas. Why not sit with this book and let your universe be opened a little wider? You won't be disappointed. NOTE: The book may seem a bit oblique until the 3rd or 4th Chapter. But trust me, worth every sentence and it comes together more than handsomely by later chapters. Again, I listen to this audiobook over and over. Why am I typing this? I should be listening to it right now and trust me talking about it like this is causing a deep Pavlovian response. See, the ideas are big enough where you actually hear them in greater clarity the more you repeat them. Excited? You should be. Good has entered the world with vision, intention, and means to overcome *all* evil. And you are a key part. Do the deed. Get it here or somehow, even if from the library. Blessings.

A Book Destined to Become a Classic

This book is, hands down, the best book I have ever purchased from Audible. It is deep and scholarly and yet very accessible. I have both the audio version and a hard-cover version.

Reading the hard-cover version takes effort, but the narrator (Thomas Penny) does an absolute masterful job of helping the reader fully grasp what the author intended to convey.

I have another Dallas Willard book that is narrated by Willard himself. For my money Penny is well worth, well, every penny. He really brings this remarkable book to life.

It is not an understatement for me to say that this is a book I have been searching for much of my life. It answers many of the deep, nagging questions that have painfully vexed me for some time. I am now learning to sit at the feet of Jesus and learn from my Master. The Holy Spirit has used this book in an amazing way. I am deeply grateful.

Blessed are those who hunger for righteousness for they will be filled.

wonderful

Very Good! I have a degree in philosophy of ethics and theology of the new testament, and Dallas Willard has to be on of my favorites to read and listen to.

Spiritual growth

Just a great resource and teaching of the truths about kingdom living. I continue heavenward with the help and guidance from my brother in Christ!

It’s a life changing perspective of our Christianity

Beautifully written and a simple life changing concept of our faith and relationship with Jesus both now and in eternity

Every Christian should read this book

I am rereading, (re-listening), to a book that literally changed my life. Dallas made more sense out of Christianity and God’s Word than any other book I have ever read.

An epic read. Worthy of every minute.

The breadth and quality of this discussion and explanation is difficult to qualify. The conspiracy of love explained and informed creates a curriculum of Christian discipleship that is a testimony to a world sorely in need.
