Becoming Dallas Willard The Formation of a Philosopher, Teacher, and Christ Follower, by Gary Moon



This is my last book to finish in 2020 and it might be my first to start in 2021. 

No biography has impacted me as much. 

"If we are fortunate, once in our lifetime a human supernova presence streaks across our mental and emotional horizon, and the intensity of this light changes us forever. Dallas Willard was such a supernova for me. . . . Dallas’s brilliance, as important as it is, is far from the whole story. He possessed in his person a spiritual formation into Christlikeness that was simply astonishing. . . . The deepest, most fundamental reason for studying the life of another person is so we can learn to live our lives more fully, more truly, more authentically. This is why Becoming Dallas Willardis a genuinely important book."

-- Richard J. Foster, from the foreword
