Did you know that we are created to live in an "altar'd" state? Encouraging you to offer up whatever holds you back from experiencing freedom in God, Dean guides you on a 40-day journey through the Scriptures to help you sacrifice your fear, possessiveness, and need to control---and be transformed into Christ's image. 208 pages, softcover from New Hope.

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 always enjoy reading what Jennifer Kennedy Dean writes because it is always biblically accurate, deeply profound, and invariably inspiring. Altar'd is filled with nuggets that will inform and change your life. I highly recommend it!" - Dr. Richard Blackaby, coauthor of Experiencing God, Revised Edition, and Spiritual Leadership

"Jennifer Kennedy Dean has written a powerful 40-day devotional book which is one of the clearest teachings on the difference between the flesh and the spirit I have ever read. You will be forever altar'd after reading this book." - Carole Lewis, First Place 4 Health national director
