So much underlining. So many dog-eared pages. Although it took me a while to get through this book (mostly due to trying to read too many books at once), God so often used what I was reading to help my own spiritual growth and understanding. There were times when the writing felt heady and other times when I could see Willard's voice and personality coming through that made the reading all the more enjoyable. This is probably a book I could read again and still be able to take so much away from and am glad I finally made my way through it!
This book helped me recognize that I've been a “consumer Christian” and inspired me to do the work required to really dig in and transform how I am inside rather than focusing on “doing good works” focus on getting rid of pent-up anger, bitterness, envy, etc. so that I can have a truly loving heart. It inspires you to take a good, hard, raw, honest look at yourself and also outlines a path that can be followed to start the transformation if you decide you want to grow in your relationship with God.
