New Releases of Hearing God:

Hearing GodHow do we hear God's voice? How can we be sure that what we think we hear is not our own subconscious? What role does the Bible play? What if what God says to us is not clear?

The key is to focus not so much on individual actions and decisions as on building our personal relationship with our Creator.

An updated and expanded edition of Dr. Willard's Hearing God is now available. Including new material from Dr. Willard's teaching at Renovaré and reformatted for easier reading. Look Inside at Amazon.com.

Hearing God DVDInterVarsity Press is also releasing a 6-session Hearing God DVD Curriculum. With this DVD you and your group can listen-in as John Ortberg and Richard Foster dialogue with Dallas on the themes of Hearing God. A small-group discussion guide written by Gary Moon is also included, making it easy for group leaders to lead discussion after the video.

Read the book together, and then bring Ortberg, Foster and Willard to your next meeting. You might be surprised at what you hear when you really start listening to God in community.


Recent On-Line Interview:

Hear Dr. Willard's most recent interview from Tuesday, April 17th on KKLA's Frank Pastore Show.

Topics Include:

  1. Difficulties in the modern church with recruiting, maintaining, equipping and mobilizing men.
  2. Why having religious knowledge, rather than mere opinion, is key to understanding the Gospel.
  3. Listener questions including topics of how prayer works, learning to identify the "voice" of God, and the part that reason plays in the process of salvation.

Dr. Willard's series of interviews from the past few years on the Frank Pastore Show are also available in our On-Line Listening section. Topics discussed include the presence of evil in the world, the history of Spiritual Formation, and why there is a hell.


Dallas Willard Center for Christian Spiritual FormationDr. Willard has said, "The spiritual formation field lacks intellectual rigor and testable information needed to put the Gospel and spiritual life in Christ on the cognitive map for the multitudes of people who are hungry for something real." The Martin Institute and the Dallas Willard Center, have been founded at Westmont College for the purpose of helping to establish the field of Christian spiritual formation as a discipline of public knowledge and enhancing opportunities for meaningful spiritual dialogue throughout the world.
