Renovation of the Heart for Students: Putting on the Character of Christ - Paperback

by Dallas Willard (Author), Randy Frazee (Author)

This practical student edition of Dallas Willard's classic Renovation of the Heart helps you enjoy the greatest adventure in life: to follow Jesus and to become more like him.

To be transformed--like a caterpillar into a butterfly--opens up a whole new world of possibility. To be changed from the inside out, into a life lived as though Jesus himself were living it, is good for you and healing for the world around you.

Renovation of the Heart for Students offers a vision for life change that's not a matter of managing sin but of giving yourself increasingly to God--from your heart to your mind to your body to your relationships. Experience God in a full, true, and intimate way. See your world through different eyes. Walk in the assurance that God is with you and for you. Love your neighbor as yourself.

Renovation of the Heart for Students brings insights from one of the most important thinkers of the past century into your everyday life and includes

Don't just be a Christian. Be like Jesus. "Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that's where life starts." --Proverbs 4:23, The Message We don't become Christians to stay the way we are. Instead, we are to be apprentices of Jesus Christ--to become more like Him every hour, every day, every year. Sounds good, but how does it happen? For starters, Christ's vision for your life starts from the inside out, not "outside in" like many Christians try to make it. That's because becoming an apprentice of Christ isn't like cramming for a test or trying to say the "right things" at church. It's a revolution of the heart that transforms your motives and perspectives. Respected authors Dallas Willard and Randy Frazee reach out to students with this promise: become like Christ and you'll discover the true purpose of your life. In other words, don't settle for being a Christian--learn to be like Jesus.
