The DIGNITY Lens is a transformative, comprehensive set of seven strategies to look deeply at our institutional challenges and create means of bridging the gap between our aspirations and our current reality, thereby becoming more authentic and creating sustainable change. That’s a huge task! And it probably won’t happen overnight. Where do you start? While DIGNITY: Seven Strategies for Creating Authentic Community (2020), introduces you to these tenets and provides great context for this work, The DIGNITY Lens Workbook provides facilitated exercises and tools to engage with this work and to make progress in narrowing the gap.

Life on the Altar – Dr James B Law
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.”
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.

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.

Perhaps coming across this book is no random circumstance. In Throat Punch Normal, we step into your story and take you on a journey of self discovery that is deeply challenging and eye opening.
Unvarnished Truth – by Blake Gideon
What is Truth?
A lot of people have asked that question through the ages. Unfortunately, our own opinions or desires often obscure the truth. For many, truth can become whatever we want to believe.
It is time to rediscover the unvarnished truth about God and accept Jesus’ challenge to share that truth with others.
