The Spirit of the Disciplines

Understanding How God Changes Lives

Book • 1988

In 'The Spirit of the Disciplines', Dallas Willard argues that spiritual disciplines are essential for transforming Christians into the character of Christ.

He contends that these disciplines, such as solitude, silence, fasting, and prayer, are concrete activities that make us more receptive to God's Kingdom.

The book explores the theological foundation of these disciplines, their historical context, and their practical application in everyday life.

Willard emphasizes that salvation is a process of transformation worked out through our physical bodies and that these disciplines are crucial for living a life that reflects Christ's teachings.
