The Great Omission – Dallas Willard | Rediscovering Discipleship, Spiritual Formation

The Great Omission by Dallas Willard challenges the contemporary Christian approach that often separates faith from discipleship. Willard asserts that the church has largely neglected Jesus's command to make disciples, focusing instead on conversions without fostering spiritual growth.

Through a collection of essays, Willard emphasizes that true discipleship involves becoming apprentices of Jesus, integrating His teachings into every aspect of life. He critiques the prevalent notion that one can be a Christian without being a disciple, urging believers to embrace a transformative journey that aligns with the Kingdom of God.

Willard also addresses the misconception of Jesus as merely a moral teacher, highlighting His profound wisdom and intelligence. He encourages readers to view Jesus as the ultimate guide for living a fulfilled and purposeful life.

This book serves as a call to action for Christians to move beyond passive belief and engage in active, intentional discipleship, fostering a deeper relationship with Christ and a more authentic expression of faith.
