Renovation of the Heart: Putting on the Character of Christ, Local Print

Renovation of the Heart is an influential contribution from the late Dallas Willard that continues to break ground twenty years after its first release.

Helping us to understand how character is formed and where Jesus does his most significant work on our spiritual and emotional health, this book changed a generation’s mind about what it means to follow Jesus—not a matter of sin management but a matter of drawing near and letting ourselves be shaped into the eternal people of God.

With reflections on the book’s impact over its life from family, friends, and admirers of Dallas, and supplemental resources for the first time in print, Renovation of the Heart will continue its ministry of liberation-by-formation for years to come.

Author: Dr. Dallas Willard, professor and former director of the School of Philosophy at the University of Southern California, is the author of more than thirty works, including The Divine Conspiracy and The Spirit of the Disciplines . Jan Johnson has created several devotionals, including Hearing God Through the Year.
