Description
The last command Jesus gave the church before he ascended to heaven was the Great Commission, the call for Christians to "make disciples of all nations". But we have responded by making Christians, not disciples. This has been the church's Great Omission.
In The Great Omission by Dallas Willard, the author challenges this disparity and explores how the church can realign itself with its original mission. Willard prompts readers to consider what it truly means to be a disciple of Jesus and how this understanding can transform lives and communities.
Through deep insights and practical guidance, The Great Omission calls for a rediscovery of discipleship as the heart of the Christian faith, encouraging believers to go beyond mere conversion to a lifelong journey of learning and growing in their faith.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Praised by leading authors such as John Eldredge and Eugene Peterson, this book is noted for its profound yet simple insights. Readers commend Willard's relentless call to follow Jesus as apprentices, making The Great Omission a compelling and essential read for anyone seeking a deeper spiritual life.
