The Divine Conspiracy
Author: Dallas Willard
ISBN: 0-06-069333-9
Publisher: Harper
Review:
--------------
This book won the Christian Book of the Year award (1999) and it is not hard to tell why. Starting with the upside-down-ness of this present world, Willard goes on to systematically dissect the Sermon on the Mount revealing the sheer brilliance of perhaps the most famous discourse of Jesus. He shows that what appears to be a disconnected string of moral utterances is in reality a successively pieced together framework of how life in the kingdom of God ought to be. The Sermon progressively deals with the core issues which prevent the heart from experiencing the fullness and nearness of God's present kingdom on earth. Please note that this is not a book to be lightly picked up and skimmed. This book should be read slowly in order to understand the full import of each progressive step. Challenging, exceptional, and well written this book is a must read.
