Synopsis

Christianity has tended to focus on right beliefs and right choices as the keys for personal growth. But biblical evidence and modern brain science show that our character is shaped more by whom we love than what we believe.

Through conversations he had with Dallas Willard at the Heart and Soul Conference shortly before Dallas's death, Jim Wilder shows how we can train our brains to relate to God based on joyful, mutual attachment—which leads to emotional and spiritual maturity as our identity and character are formed by our relationship with God.

Goodreads review by Tim on July 23, 2024

The other chapters are adding to and contradicting Willard (mostly: attachment love as the source of spiritual formation instead of the Will/Spiritual Disciplines). It’s fasc......more
