Whose voice can help us pay better attention to Jesus and the restoration that Jesus brings? I think Dallas Willard sits well on the list.
I've been an appreciative reader of Willard for a few years now and had the privilege to meet him at an event in Wichita, KS. There in passing, he held the door for me and in slight hallway conversation I saw a thin glimpse of this man being in his core what his writings try to bring about in others.
As others have said, there is something about Dallas Willard that is truly alive and there's something about his writing that connects the words of Jesus even more firmly to the disciple.
_Living In Christ's Presence_ is an overview book, a glimpse of Willard's best writing. I'd recommend it to anyone as a first to read from Willard and more than that, to anyone reading the words of Jesus and wondering why those words feel so new, so alive to them, as if such things had rarely been heard in their church community.
Yes, I remember reading the Gospel of John one summer and "coming-to" as they say. "Who IS this guy, this Jesus?!" I said, putting the Gospel down in my lap, "This guy, taken with his words just as they are, not dissected is talking about something that hasn't been a very strong part of my religious experience to date. ...the way he talks about obedience, faith, ... he's talking about something unfolding in the present, something that will extend into the future."
Willard (with co-author and conversation partner John Ortberg) helps us explore this Jesus, this raw from-the-Gospels Jesus. What we discover, as Willard points up and to the right, whispering, "Look there," is that the Gospel is a much thicker good news than many of us had heard.
