Renovation of the Heart, ch. 10

"As firmness of footing is a condition of walking and secure movement, so assurance of others being for us is the condition of stable, healthy living."  This statement most aptly expresses Willard's goal to describe what a transformation of our social/relational aspect of our soul may look like.  He further adds, "Only when rooted in that divine Trinitarian circle can the broken individuals from the broken circles recover from the wounds received in their circles of origin and find wholeness on their long journey from the womb to the eternal city of God."  Willard describes the two forms of evil found in relationships, namely assault and withdrawal.  In typical form, Willard describes what a rebuilt social dimension might look like.
