Moon was chosen as the book of the year in the category of Biography and Memoir for the 2019 ECPA Christian Book Awards\u00ae.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Becoming Dallas Willard was also named a finalist for other 2018 book awards, which will be judged later including: INDIES (University and Independent publishers) and the MIDWRC (Martin Institute and Dallas Willard Research Center) Book and Research Awards. It has also been listed by Book Authority as one of the top 100 historical biographies of all time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who did not know Dallas in person can get a good sense of him from his lectures and writings. But what has been a gnawing omission is the details of his life made available to the public\u2014until now,\u201d said J. P. Moreland, distinguished professor of philosophy at the Talbot School of Theology, Biola University. \u201cBecoming Dallas Willard is a first-rate, accurate, honest, timely, and riveting biography. I am so thankful to Gary for doing such a careful and painstakingly accurate treatment of the life of the greatest man I ever met.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In becoming<em> Dallas Willard<\/em>, Moon, a close friend of Willard, offers a candid and inspiring biography about a great man of the faith who was a personal mentor and inspiration to hundreds of pastors, philosophers, and average churchgoers. His presence and ideas rippled through the lives of many prominent leaders and authors, such as John Ortberg, Richard Foster, James Bryan Smith, Paula Huston, and Moreland. As a result of these relationships and the books he wrote, Willard fundamentally altered the way tens of thousands of Christians have understood and experienced the spiritual life. Moon writes about the development of Willard\u2019s personal character, philosophical writing, and spiritual teaching and how he has inspired some of the most influential books on spirituality of the last generation.<\/p>\n<p>Christopher Hall, president of Renovar\u00e9, said, \u201cThe web of Dallas Willard\u2019s life is a highly complex, wondrous, and redemptive story woven from strands of God\u2019s providence: family, friends, colleagues, events, institutions, ministry, teaching, writing, choices, pain, grief, healing, deep faith, and love. How difficult and maybe all but impossible task it is for a biographer to untangle and explain the story of any image bearer\u2019s life, much less a giant in the land such as Dallas Willard. But Gary Moon does this in a kind, discerning, and wise manner. We can now know Dallas Willard much better\u2014and be enriched and encouraged in the knowing\u2014because his close friend Gary Moon has researched and written so clearly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cindy Bunch, IVP associate publisher, director of editorial, said, \u201cGary W. Moon approached this project with the attitude of a historical researcher, traveling to visit the sites of Willard\u2019s childhood, and the places where he lived and studied. He interviewed hundreds of people, including colleagues, family, and friends. He read deeply into both Willard\u2019s spiritual and philosophical work in order to follow the development of Willard\u2019s thought and teaching. Then Moon added his psychological understanding to consider how these factors came together to shape the person Willard became. But most importantly Moon gave attention to the formational work of God through the shaping forces in Willard\u2019s life. This book fits well into our formation line because of the guidance it offers the reader on the transformational power of spiritual practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Christian Book Award\u00ae program has recognized the highest quality in Christian books since 1978, honoring the best titles of the year in twelve categories.

Adem\u00e1s, Becoming Dallas Willard tambi\u00e9n fue nombrado finalista para otros premios de libros de 2018, que se evaluar\u00e1n m\u00e1s adelante, entre ellos: INDIES (editoriales universitarias e independientes) y el MIDWRC (Instituto Martin y Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n de Dallas Willard) Premios de investigaci\u00f3n y libros. Tambi\u00e9n ha sido catalogado por Book Authority como una de las 100 mejores biograf\u00edas hist\u00f3ricas de todos los tiempos. \u201cAquellos que no conocieron a Dallas en persona pueden tener una buena idea de \u00e9l a partir de sus conferencias y escritos. Pero lo que ha sido una gran omisi\u00f3n son los detalles de su vida puestos a disposici\u00f3n del p\u00fablico, hasta ahora \", dijo JP Moreland, profesor distinguido de filosof\u00eda en la Escuela de Teolog\u00eda de Talbot, en la Universidad de Biola. \u201cConvertirse en Dallas Willard es una biograf\u00eda de primer nivel, precisa, honesta, oportuna y fascinante. Estoy muy agradecido a Gary por hacer un tratamiento tan cuidadoso y minuciosamente preciso de la vida del mejor hombre que he conocido \u201d. Al convertirme en <em>Dallas Willard<\/em> , Moon, un amigo cercano de Willard, ofrece una biograf\u00eda sincera e inspiradora sobre un gran hombre. de la fe que fue un mentor personal e inspiraci\u00f3n para cientos de pastores, fil\u00f3sofos y feligreses promedio. Su presencia e ideas recorrieron la vida de muchos l\u00edderes y autores prominentes, como John Ortberg, Richard Foster, James Bryan Smith, Paula Huston y Moreland. Como resultado de estas relaciones y los libros que escribi\u00f3, Willard alter\u00f3 fundamentalmente la forma en que decenas de miles de cristianos han entendido y experimentado la vida espiritual. Moon escribe sobre el desarrollo del car\u00e1cter personal, la escritura filos\u00f3fica y la ense\u00f1anza espiritual de Willard y c\u00f3mo ha inspirado algunos de los libros m\u00e1s influyentes sobre la espiritualidad de la \u00faltima generaci\u00f3n. Christopher Hall, presidente de Renovar\u00e9, dijo: \"La red de la vida de Dallas Willard es una historia altamente compleja, maravillosa y redentora, tejida de los hilos de la providencia de Dios: familia, amigos, colegas, eventos, instituciones, ministerio, ense\u00f1anza, escritura, elecciones. , dolor, pena, sanaci\u00f3n, profunda fe y amor. Qu\u00e9 dif\u00edcil y tal vez casi imposible tarea es para un bi\u00f3grafo desenredar y explicar la historia de la vida de cualquier portador de imagen, y mucho menos un gigante en la tierra como Dallas Willard. Pero Gary Moon hace esto de una manera amable, exigente y sabia. Ahora podemos conocer a Dallas Willard mucho mejor, y enriquecernos y alentarnos en el conocimiento, porque su amigo Gary Moon ha investigado y escrito con tanta claridad \". Cindy Bunch, editora asociada de IVP, directora editorial, dijo:\" Gary W. Moon abord\u00f3 este proyecto con la actitud de un investigador hist\u00f3rico, viajando para visitar los sitios de la infancia de Willard y los lugares donde vivi\u00f3 y estudi\u00f3. Entrevist\u00f3 a cientos de personas, incluidos colegas, familiares y amigos. Ley\u00f3 profundamente tanto el trabajo espiritual como el filos\u00f3fico de Willard para seguir el desarrollo del pensamiento y la ense\u00f1anza de Willard. Luego, Moon agreg\u00f3 su comprensi\u00f3n psicol\u00f3gica para considerar c\u00f3mo estos factores se unieron para moldear a la persona en la que se convirti\u00f3 Willard. Pero lo m\u00e1s importante es que la Luna prest\u00f3 atenci\u00f3n a la obra formativa de Dios a trav\u00e9s de las fuerzas de configuraci\u00f3n en la vida de Willard. Este libro se adapta bien a nuestra l\u00ednea de formaci\u00f3n debido a la gu\u00eda que ofrece al lector sobre el poder transformador de la pr\u00e1ctica espiritual \u201d.
