The Divine Conspiracy has revolutionized how we think about the true meaning of discipleship. In this classic, one of the most brilliant Christian thinkers of our times and author of the acclaimed The Spirit of Disciplines, Dallas Willard, skillfully weaves together biblical teaching, popular culture, science, scholarship, and spiritual practice, revealing what it means to "apprentice" ourselves to Jesus. Using Jesus’s Sermon of the Mount as his foundation, Willard masterfully explores life-changing ways to experience and be guided by God on a daily basis, resulting in a more authentic and dynamic faith.

So much underlining. So many dog-eared pages. Although it took me a while to get through this book (mostly due to trying to read too many books at once), God so often used what I was reading to help my own spiritual growth and understanding. There were times when the writing felt heady and other times when I could see Willard's voice and personality coming through that made the reading all the more enjoyable. This is probably a book I could read again and still be able to take so much away from and am glad I finally made my way through it!
This book helped me recognize that I've been a “consumer Christian” and inspired me to do the work required to really dig in and transform how I am inside rather than focusing on “doing good works” focus on getting rid of pent-up anger, bitterness, envy, etc. so that I can have a truly loving heart. It inspires you to take a good, hard, raw, honest look at yourself and also outlines a path that can be followed to start the transformation if you decide you want to grow in your relationship with God.
