Great Omission

Reclaiming Jesus's Essential Teachings on Discipleship

De: Dallas Willard

Narrado por: Grover Gardner

The last command Jesus gave the church before he ascended to heaven was the Great Commission, the call for Christians to "make disciples of all the nations."

But Christians have responded by making "Christians", not "disciples". This, according to brilliant scholar and renowned Christian thinker Dallas Willard, has been the church's Great Omission.

"Dallas Willard is a brilliant, modest, immensely experienced Christian older brother, calling to us." ( Christianity Today)

Great omission

It would be a great omission if you didn’t read this book by Dallas Willard.

Transform in Christ or conform to Christianity?

One need only attend many local churches for any length of time to see why many find no use for church, or Christianity as most have experienced it. How deeply sad. I encourage all not to dismiss Christ based on the poor representation of some. He is most worthy of worship and truly amazing to know.

unfathomable depths that are worth the dive.

Motivating and encouraging on so many levels. Loved the length and depth things were explained and the constant references for further reading on deep subjects.

A Rare Read

Mortimer J. Adler, in his classic How to Read a Book, refers to those few, very rare books that are well worth reading over and over. This is without reservation one of those rare gems. And not just to read, but to use as a faithful compass. Willard gathers and synthesizes millennia of the most cogent wisdom in the practical matter of following Jesus as He intended to be followed.

Saying what needs to be said.

As for the quality of the recording, it is really good and I am a fan of Grover Gardner, who also did "The Pursuit of God" by Tozer

The book is excellent as well, weather you are a pastor our just trying to deepen your relationship with God. He basically says that we (North American Christians) are shaped by our culture of consumer christianity whereas we should instead be seeking to imitate the image of Jesus as an apprentice (disciples).

He did not write this book explicitly, but it is a collection of his writings and sermons. I am glad I purchased and listened to this book and it has helped me get a better picture of what true church looks like. It reminds me to similar books such as "Radical", "The Persuit of God" and "Don't waste your life". I would also highly recommend "Power through Prayer" By EM Bounds
