To Make a Difference,
You Have to Be Different.
The key to the spiritual life is cultivation of a spiritual heart. This is what makes the difference between hoping to change “someday” and actually changing our thoughts and behaviors now. Bill Hull says the great teachers of the past (such as William Law and John Wesley) and the best guides in spiritual formation today (such as Dallas Willard and Richard Foster) all agree on the central importance of the intent of the heart.
Such a heart is cultivated, writes Hull, in the simplicity of a life fixed on the words and ways of Jesus. In Christlike, the author helps us grow intentionally in “uncomplicated obedience” to Jesus so that “our minds and hearts are in alignment with each other.” But this is not a privatized spirituality. Instead, writes Hull, this simplicity is the key to effectiveness in the larger mission of changing the world for Christ.
REVIEWS
“In this book, Bill Hull is casting light on the cause of most of our ‘Christian’ troubles and
what can be done about them. Nothing less than the settled and intelligent resolve to become
Christlike can serve as the basis for spiritual growth in the Christian life. How did we lose that
from the ‘normal Christian life,’ and what can be done to bring it back? Christlike can help us
answer these questions and begin to do something about the situation where the action is: in
individual lives and local assemblies of disciples.”
Dallas Willard professor, school of philosophy, University of Southern California; author of Renovation of the Heart
“I think this is Bill Hull’s best book. In Christlike, this respected author and seasoned consultant
dares to ask the church to rethink what it means to be a Christian and then offers a road map
for uncomplicated obedience.”
Gary W. Moon, MDiv, PhD chair of integration, Richmont Graduate University; author of Apprenticeship with Jesus
