Altar'd: Forty Days of Transformation

by Jennifer Kennedy Dean

We are created to live in an altar’d state―surrendered, yielded, free. 
The noun altar is usually understood to be a place of worshipful offering. Something of value is offered up and released on the altar. When we turn the noun altar into a verb―altar our fear, our failure, our possessiveness, our need to control―all those things that hold us captive and keep us from running the race at full throttle are released.
Through careful exposition and biblical teaching, celebrated author and prayer expert Jennifer Kennedy Dean guides readers on a 40-day exploration of the Scriptures and what it means to truly live a life dead to flesh and alive to the Spirit.

I enjoyed reading through this book during the Lenten season. It has 40 chapters and is perfect for this. It's purpose is to help you learn to crucify flesh to live in an "altar'd" state; surrendered, yielded, free. Here is a quote: "Life is made up of millions and millions of moments, punctuated by a few big upheavals. When we deal with our flesh in the dailyness of living life, then we'll be ready to head into life's few big moments in an altar'd state. Flesh out of the way; Spirit's power unfurled." The author gave me new insights into certain passages of Scripture. Love it when that happens.
