I have greatly benefited from the Veritas Forum and often browse their lectures for some of the best presentations on the most important topics. I have often wished that some of them were edited in a book to have ready on hand for simple referencing. Today I saw that IVP will publish a volume edited by Dallas Willard this coming year that looks to contains some high quality essays.
