Renewing the Christian Mind: Essays, Interviews, and Talks (HarperOne, 2016; 528 pages) gathers Dallas Willard's shorter writings, edited by Gary Black Jr., who began working with Willard in early 2013 to select and arrange the material. It includes fifteen chapters not previously published. The pieces are arranged in five parts: spiritual transformation, discipleship, theology, leadership, and a final part of ten interviews. The publisher presents it for classrooms and church reading groups, and the pieces range from broad questions for any reader to counsel for church leaders. It complements The Great Omission (2006), the earlier collection of his occasional papers.
