Synopsis

Dallas Willard, the author of the bestselling spiritual classic, The Divine Conspiracy, now fulfills his revolutionary vision of how the kingdom of God is made real on earth in this sequel, the last book he was working on before his recent death.

In The Divine Conspiracy , revered Christian philosopher and scholar Dallas Willard critiqued the church s obsession with sin management and revolutionised our understanding of true Christian discipleship. Jesus is not a remote saviour, waiting to welcome us into heaven after we die, Willard argued. He is a dynamic living force, a leader and teacher to whom we apprentice ourselves to learn the sacred skills God
wants us to embrace, and to fulfil His son s vision when Christ declared that the kingdom of God has come.

In The Divine Conspiracy Continued , co-written with theologian Gary Black, Willard lays out the next stage in God s plan as this generation of disciples, including ordained and lay leaders, step into positions of authority across our culture and begin to transform the world from the inside out. To fulfil the Christian calling is not to remove oneself from the outside world and take shelter from its shortcomings, Willard reminds us, but to step into the world to lead and serve as agents of change.

About this title

Review:

I know of no more important voice on spiritual truth in our day than that of Dallas Willard. To be able to receive fresh words from him along with Gary Black on the reality of the kingdom in our midst is a priceless gift to every follower of Jesus.

- John Ortberg, senior pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church and author of Who Is This Man?

I consider Dallas Willard s The Divine Conspiracy to be the most important book in the field of Christian Spirituality written in my lifetime. So, I welcome the publication of The
Divine Conspiracy Continued: Fulfilling God s Kingdom on Earth. Gary Black, working on this project with Dallas Willard right up until Dallas s death, helps to expand and enrich
the themes that moved us so deeply in The Divine Conspiracy. It articulates the same grand vision as the original text and adds many penetrating insights into our life in the
kingdom of God. May The Divine Conspiracy Continued find an eager audience ready to grow in the life that is Life indeed.

- Richard J. Foster, author of several books, including Celebration of Discipline and
Sanctuary of the Soul

'Every page is rich with the kingdom of God as lived reality'

From the Back Cover:

Dallas Willard's bestselling book The Divine Conspiracy revolutionized how we understand Christian discipleship. Jesus is not a remote savior, waiting for us in heaven after we die, Willard taught, but a leader and teacher to whom we apprentice ourselves to fulfill what Jesus had in mind when he declared that the "kingdom of God has come." In The Divine Conspiracy Continued, Willard and theologian Gary Black Jr. lay out the next stage in God's plan as this generation's disciples enter into positions of leadership and transform the world from the inside out. Christians are not called to protect themselves from the world but to step into the world to lead and serve, and in doing so, bring the kingdom of God to earth.
