"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

"The title alone is enough to grab you, but the heart of the author and the passion that drives her will inspire you. Jennifer communicates profound biblical truths in a way that creates a hunger for more of the Jesus she loves. While she seeks to understand and live the altar'd life, you can't help but want to join her. What I've read and learned here has challenged and encouraged me. Thank you, Jennifer." - Jill Kelly, author of New York Times best seller Without a Word: How a Boy’s Unspoken Love Changed Everything
