THE GREAT OMISSION Reclaiming Jesus's Essential Teachings on Discipleship

Contemporary Christian philosopher Dallas Willard calls upon followers of Christ to participate in active discipleship, a way of life that many churches today seem to consider to be optional. Without dismissing the importance of logic, scientific inquiry, the arts, and spiritual seeking—Willard deftly distills the reverence of historical Christian leaders and mystics into a contemporary way of life that transmutes the treasures of Christianity into action. The result, he believes, is an active discipleship and partnership with God. Initially, Grover Gardner infuses the text with a narration that borders on preaching, yet he soon hits his stride, settling into a pleasant rhythm. His voice is clear and accurate as he seamlessly delivers biblical citations and the author’s message itself. L.V.B. 2008 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 08]
