Dallas Willard has long been able to explain the mastery of the spiritual life, and in Renovation of the Heart he clearly lays out what true spirituality is, and how we can attain it.
Frankly, this book has been on my desk for several months, and it took me a while to muster the strength to push into it. Once I did, I was encouraged, challenged, and delighted by what I found. He is answering questions that people are asking, and questions that I myself continue to face in my own spiritual walk.
Have you been asking yourself “How can I make a difference?” Are you tired of cursing the darkness and are you looking for a way to light a candle.
Join the movement that is sweeping across New England.
Every night at 9pm, stop and pray for this nation. We are praying for a Third Great Awakening to come to this nation, just like the awakenings that preceded the American Revolution, and the sweeping social reforms of the 19th century. When you do, you will joining hundreds who are already praying in homes and colleges across the northeast. Pray for three things:
Pray for a nationwide spiritual revival.

Pray for the end of abortion.
they poured out innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was polluted with blood. (Psalm 108:34)
Pray for righteous government.
Put not your trust in rulers, nor in any child of earth, for there is not help in them.
When they breathe their last they return to earth, and in that day their thoughts perish. (Psalm 146:2-3)
Father God, pour out your Spirit on the United States of America. Awaken us from our slumber, and turn our hearts to you. Restore a love of Freedom to our hearts, and a passion for your Son Jesus Christ. Create a mighty Christian revolution that transforms every area of society. May we say that as it is in heaven, so it is in America, for the glory of your Name. Amen.
As a symbol, light a candle.
It would be great if you shared this with others, and joined with others online, on the phone, or together for a few minutes every night at 9 pm. Together, with God’s help, we can bring real change to this nation.
There has been a lot on the Elijah List that seems to dovetail with this post.
