Jon, I was immediately drawn into your retelling of that pivotal moment in your journey. For a moment, I can imagine God just waiting for you to pick up that book and read.
In 2010, I was a faithful servant in the church, but I had no knowledge of spiritual formation; and I sense something was missing in my (the entire church's) faith journey. A friend returned from videoing Dallas Willard for the Divine Conspiracy (an abbreviated six session class for churches). In learning about this real and humble man that I had never heard of, I ordered the book. I offered it as a summer study. It was as though I stepped onto a new path , or found the narrow gate, that I did not even know existed. Ten years later I entered Renovaré Institute and journeyed with you! I have longed for your book to be published all this time. It will be wonderful to hear you teach once more! Thank you for laboring to spread this invaluable process.
“It was as though I stepped onto a new path” — yes. That’s exactly what it felt like for me too. So grateful for your encouragement and for the years you’ve carried this hope for the book. 🙌

Thanks Celeste … this means a great deal to me.
