Comments from people who have used this material:

Amid the confusion of various influences pulling Christians this way and that, there is desperate need for clarity about the Christian life. Don Simpson's distillation of Dallas Willard's Renovation of the Heart crystallizes the primary issues very well.
RICHARD E. AVERBECK, PHD/ director, Spiritual Formation Forum; professor of OT and Semitic Languages, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

Revolution of Character goes beyond expressing the obvious need for us to experience spiritual transformation in Jesus; it gives us sound, deep insights on how it takes place. Approach this book with the anticipation of what may happen in your life, and let the revolution begin in you.
RANDY FRAZEE/ teaching pastor, Willow Creek CC; coauthor of Renovation of the Heart: An Interactive Student Edition

Dallas and Don connect the grace of God in the Cross with the grace of God in becoming more like the Lord Jesus in everyday life. Wherever you are in the process of spiritual transformation, this book will help you grow to be more like Jesus.
ALAN ANDREWS/ US director, The Navigators

Description

Heart, mind, body, social life, and soul. God is ready to transform every aspect of your life.

Perhaps your spiritual life is not all you want it to be. Your sporadic successes, plateaus, and dry spells only lead to more frustration. Trusted spiritual guide Dallas Willard believes the main reason we fail in our spiritual life is that we don't examine carefully the roles played by all five elements of our person: heart, mind, body, social life, and soul. Real change comes when we give each element thoughtful and prayerful exposure to God's transforming work. Revolution of Character enables you to dwell reflectively on each of the five elements, understand its role, train it in new patterns, and seek God's transforming power. This holistic approach will produce new ways of responding to life and will result in profoundly changed character.

This book is a distillation of Renovation of the Heart and is designed to make that book's contents more accessible and more useful for specific purposes. This book can simply be read and enjoyed as you would read a regular book. Or you can add to your reading a time of interaction with God in a setting where you normally have personal devotions. At the end of each chapter are suggestions for your meditation and response.
