About this listen

The revered Christian author whose bestselling 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.

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! 😃

Superb Guidance on sharing your faith
