About this listen

 We aren't born again to stay the way we are. But how many times have we looked around us in dismay at the lack of spiritual maturity in fellow believers?

It is evident in the rising rate of divorces among Christian couples. We find it in the high percentages of Christians, even pastors, who regularly view pornography. And we face it each time a well-known leader in the Christian community is found in sexual sin or handling finances dishonestly. Perhaps you have struggled with your own character issues for years, even decades, to little avail. That's good news. You can experience significant growth in your Christian walk, shed sinful habits, and increasing take on the character of Christ.

In Renovation of the Heart, best-selling author Dallas Willard calls it "the transformation of the spirit"- a divine process that "brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God or the kingdom of God." In the transformation of our spirits, we become apprentices of Jesus Christ.

Willard deals with the separate, yet interconnected, aspects of the human self and clearly explains how each is involved in being transformed into being more like Christ. Paradoxically, this book is profoundly philosophical and simultaneously very practical. My favourite takeaway is that Mother Theresa consumed MORE grace (transforming grace), not less, than the average person... and what this means for how we grow!

Reshaped my view of myself, in light of God's Grace
