Review "Willard is a master at capturing the central insight of Jesus teachings. . . . Rarely have I found an author with so penetrating an intellect combined with so generous a spirit." -- from the Foreword by Richard Foster, author of Celebration of Discipline"This book belongs in the tradition of the great devotional classics . . . The comprehensiveness of his study, its accessibility, its fervor, its freshness of phrasing, and its command of Scripture should prompt Christians to give this book serious attention." -- Christian Century"With The Divine Conspiracy, Willard joins the line of a Kempis, Luther, Fenelon, Brother Lawrence, Zinzendorf, Wesley, and other master apprentices of Jesus . . . What distinguishes The Divine Conspiracy is an extraordinary combination of simplicity and depth . . . If you read only one book, make it this one." -- Christianity Today"I consider The Divine Conspiracy to be the most important book in the field of Christian spirituality written in my lifetime." -- Richard J. Foster, author of Celebration of Discipline"All of Dallas Willards books merit careful attention, but this goes to the heart of the matter.

Just as the disciples did in the Gospels." -- Christianity Magazine"A Christian classic that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath with Augustines Confessions and Brother Lawrences Practicing the Presence of God." -- JP Moreland, author of Love Your God with All Your Mind"Passionate insights . . . thoroughly argued." -- Library Journal"The Divine Conspiracy shaped an entire generation." -- Scot McKnight, author of The Blue Parakeet Review Quote "Willard is a master at capturing the central insight of Jesus teachings. . . .
