Synopsis

First published in 1998, The Divine Conspiracy captured the attention of Christians across the world, by offering a timely and challenging call back to the true meaning of Christian discipleship.

Gracefully weaving biblical teaching, popular culture, science and scholarship together, Dallas Willard refuted the view that Christianity is solely about gaining admittance to heaven when we die, and taught that, as disciples, we have access now to the life of the kingdom.

Equally relevant today as it was on publication, The Divine Conspiracy challenges us to step aside from the pieties of contemporary Christian practice and offers instead a practical plan by which we can become Christ-like. Truly, it has earned its reputation as a modern Christian classic.

With a practical plan to follow, he shows how all Christians can acquire the habits of goodness and learn to be truly Christ-like. Comprehensive, accessible, practical, profound and full of warmth, 'The Divine Conspiracy' is a life-changing explorations of God's Kingdom and its powerful presence in daily life.

"Like Michelangelo's Sistine ceiling, [this book] is a masterpiece and a wonder. And like those famous frescos, it presents God as real and present and ever reaching out to all humanity. A soul-satisfying banquet… a feast for the mind and the heart…
'The Divine Conspiracy' is the book I have been searching for all my life.
