Life on the Altar – Dr James B Law

Jan 31, 2022

The themes set forth in Romans 12, where believers are called to present themselves to God as living sacrifices, drive the conversation in this book. We are summoned to the altar of God’s presence through the finished work of Christ on our behalf. The Christian life is presenting ourselves to Him every moment, of every day, all the days of our life. This is what I am calling, “Life on the Altar.”

If you are a Christian who wants to align, or realign, your life commitments with the purposes of God, this book is for you. But it is also for those who have not tasted the goodness of God’s grace found in Christ. The message of this book is extended to you as well. My prayer is that you would come to Christ with the open arms of faith and join us as we seek to live for Him.

 

If you want to know how to present your body as a living sacrifice to God, you’ll find a helpful and encouraging guide in these pages.

We are in a season of serious crisis in the American church. But with that crisis comes a giant opportunity — to see a new reformation of the church, a re-forming into what Jesus meant His body to be. James Law, in this incredible book gives us all spiritual and practical help on how to do that!

Discipleship Preaching – Dr. Rob Finley

There is a distinct pattern that Jesus used in training His original twelve disciples. Jesus and the disciples employed the exact same pattern when they began to disciple the 70 and then again with the 120.

The pattern is repeated again and again throughout Scripture, yet is seldom (if ever) heard from our pulpits. Because I have found alliteration to be a great help to my memory, I began to assign alliterated words to this pattern of discipleship that seems to be repeated in Scripture.

This book is designed to walk you through the pattern used in Scripture that can be replicated in your life and in your church.
