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.
