Spirtual Disciplines
Recently I listened to a interview with Bill Hybels (who leads Willow Creek Church) and Dallas Willard. I was very struck by the spiritual depth of Mr Willard and what he described as the Great Omission - our keenness to evangelise without a commitment for discipleship. I resolved to find one of his books to read. I knew it would do me good. Soon after I found a copy of The Spirit of the Disciplines by Dallas Willard. Sure enough it makes for a very challenging read. No quick-fix-latest-method-for-success paperback this - rather a call to be like Jesus in prayer, fasting, solitude, silence, study and service. Not popular but powerful.

Dallas Willard is a good lad, he's a great philosopher aswell.
In one of your previous posts you mentioned going into schools to talk about abortion..can I ask how that came about? Didn't think that would be allowed.
