The Allure of Gentleness

Defending the Faith in the Manner of Jesus

De: Dallas Willard

Narrado por: Alan Winter, Eileen Stevens

The revered Christian author whose best-selling 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.

Excellent, wise teaching

Willard deals with the hard questions, and he teaches us how to adopt the life of Christ so that it is attractive and it makes sense. He shows a way to live that is so clearly grounded in the realities of the kingdom of God, that the people of the kingdom to not have to holler and be angry and defensive in talking about their lives. Their lives work, and so their words can be gentle.

Another Fantastic Dallas Willard Bbok

Dallas a Willard takes our fear out of Christian apologetics and simplifies it, yet not making apologetics simplistic. He keeps the meat, the breadth and depth, yet makes it understandable.

This is a must read/listen for understanding the Christian life as Jesus intends.

A New and Better Way of Apologetics

Dallas Willard's approach to Christian Apologetics is refreshing. He has restored my faith in it after so many people have misused it to clobber the doubters. Thank you, Dallas, for the renewed approach.

Gentleness

the treigning begins, begins now in intensity and the love in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Great

Great book filled with truth that will help one become gentle in their interaction with others.

Typical Dallas Willard

Very thoughtful, deep and challenging especially the last few chapters. Best book on apologetics I've ever encountered.

Vintage Dallas Willard

I will not rate this as one of his greatest works, but it is vintage DW and you will once again be challenged to rethink how you approach the Christian life

Willard's apologia

Dallas Willard describes the mode of Christian apologetics: A life transformed and a reasoned quest for truth in the spirit of Christ

Apologetics as discipleship

This is apologetics as the reasonable outworking of a life together with God rather than techniques or answers to common questions. It is one of the best and most holistic books on the topic I know, aiming for knowledge and understanding and not merely trying to get the reader to do apologetics.

Eye Opening

As always I am thankful for my brothers and sisters in Christ for sharing the beautiful wisdom given them. Very insightful. Praise be to God!
