This is a book Willard had wanted to write. It is based on teaching he did for his home church before he became famous. Through tapes and notes from the series he did, his friend Larry Burtoft and his daughter Rebecca Willard Heatley, finished the work. I have read just about everything Willard has written, and this, in my mind, is the most accessible. I have now read it twice, and will read it again and again.
