Welcome to our online discussion of Dallas Willard and Jan Johnson's Renovation of the Heart in Daily Practice: Experiments in Spiritual Transformation. Each day, Monday-Friday, I will post the title of that day's chapter and maybe an excerpt from the chapter. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to read that day's selection from the book then click on the comment link and add your $.02 to the conversation. If you are a highlighter maybe just share what you highlighted and why you highlighted it. Maybe something really resonated with you as you tackled that day's experiment, share that with us. Maybe, as happened with me, the first time I read the book, God will reveal something to you. Read the comments that others leave, respond to each other, ask for clarification, let someone know you connected with a comment they left. My hope is that working through this book together we will get much more out of it, we might not only grow in Christlikeness but grow closer to each other. If you have any technical difficulties please email me at tkay3atcharterdotnet.

This chapter is one of the reasons I love this book. It doesn't just let you off the hook with academic thought or theoretical speculations it forces you to internalize this stuff and wrestle with it.
For me, I think I need to address my vision of life in the kingdom here and now. I spent most of my adult life touting the fact that I have an eternal get out of jail free card. Also trying to help my friends discover their card. It's has only been within the last 3 years that I began to think about the kingdom here and now. I am in need of much renovation.
This is a hard one for me I have a vision of what type of person I would like to be.But I am confused about the vision of my life!I have a get out of Jail free card but someone (the enemy)keeps taking it and hiding it from me.I am all over with my feelings.What I need to learn it to stay in the here and now and FOCUS(which is very hard for me to do).I am a work in progress and that is ok!!
