David Takle
Having spent sixty-plus years as a Christian studying Kingdom Life described in the New Testament, David Takle has become an expert in the area of spiritual formation.
David shares that, “When I began to discover what God really meant for us, I was surprised at how accessible it all is, and at the same time shocked at how far away most of us are. So, for the rest of my life, my hope is to be able to keep moving forward on this path and to help others across the bridge who desire to know this God of ours, personally.”
David’s resources help Christians experience the abundant life described in the New Testament. He also created the popular Forming module of Connexus. Be sure to get his most recent works; Transformation by Design and Lamb of God.
David and his wife, Jan, have three adult children and six grandchildren. He completed his Masters of Divinity at Fuller Seminary with a concentration in Christian Formation.

Copernicus 2.0: A Call to Reformation
1600 years ago, the Western Church fell captive to a legal worldview from which it has never recovered. Nothing less than a Copernican-style Revolution will liberate us from this distorted view of reality and return us to the good news first preached by the apostles. Nearly every aspect of our practical theology has been altered or dismantled by a judicial framework that distorts our perceptions and derails our efforts to rediscover the life portrayed in Scripture. Piece by piece, Copernicus 2.0 unmasks the extensive damage brought about by this tragic deception and recasts for us the amazing vision of God's love and rescue operation that originally took the world by storm. One of the most important books you will ever read, Copernicus 2.0 lifts the veil on the spiritual coup that has disabled the Church now for over fifteen centuries.
Lamb of God: Rediscovering the Beauty of Atonement
Welcome to the Exchanged Life view of Atonement! Shocking as it may sound, most Christians today have never heard the cross explained in the way it was commonly understood and proclaimed by the early Church. In Lamb of God you will find a portrait of atonement that is far more beautiful and far more compelling than most popular renditions of the gospel today - one that not only demonstrates the amazing depth of God's love for us, but also provides the very power we need in order to be set free from sin. Rediscover what the New Testament authors all knew about the death of Christ and how it shaped the Good News that turned the ancient world right-side up! You will never look at the cross of Christ the same way again.
