Such a wonderful complement to The Divine Conspiracy. Really enjoyed having this study guide to emphasize Willard's key points and provide some further scripture and questions to ponder. Also liked the questions provided to journal about what was read. My favorite chapter in the book was chapter 9 and the study guide did an excellent job of walking me through this chapter again with a more personalized and practical application-based approach. One of my favorite passages: “While it is true that we are saved by grace, that God alone is the author of our salvation, and it is impossible to change our wayward hears on our own, it is also true that we have important responsibilities in this journey of discipleship. We must understand the critical truth that God is not opposed to people making an effort, but that GOd is opposed to our using effort to earn salvation. So God is not opposed to effort but to earning. While God's grace birthed us into the kingdom, our continued cooperation with that grace grows us in the life of the kingdom.” (p. 107) It's definitely extra “work” but worthwhile in soaking up every last bit of truth from this book!
