Renovation of the Heart
Putting on the Character of Christ
Book • 2002
In *Renovation of the Heart*, Dallas Willard argues that spiritual transformation occurs when all essential dimensions of the human being—spirit, mind, body, social context, and soul—are transformed to Christlikeness under the direction of a regenerate will and the constant overtures of God's grace.
The book emphasizes that this transformation is not achieved through mere human effort but through apprenticeship to Jesus Christ.
Willard discusses the importance of understanding human nature, its components, and how they are renewed, and he provides a systematic process for personal transformation rooted in biblical and theological principles.
