Dallas Willard is speaking hear of what too often is the focus of the preaching of the gospel as opposed to learning how to live in the abundance of life God has invited us into.
"But intelligent effectual entry into this life is currently obstructed by clouds of well intentioned misinformation. The gospels that predominate where He is most frequently invoked speak only of preparing to die or else of correcting social practices and conditions. These are both obviously matters of great importance but neither one touches the quick of individual existence or taps the depths of the reality of Christ."

Wow, that is awesome. Christ isn't for the dead, He is for the living. What a shame we often preach him as the GREAT GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD, and ignore that He came to give us life and life abundant, here, now, today, this second.
Thanks Kent. I am liking these quotes from his book.
