Synopsis

As Christians, we want to make a difference in this world. We want to have an impact not only on our immediate family and community, but on wider social issues. We want to protect the vulnerable and engage with the issues that really matter. But how? This book shows us how wonderful, liberating and empowering it is to be made in God's image and how this changes how we see ourselves and all other humans, and how we treat them and advocate for them. Some will feel the call to run for office... others will roll up their sleeves and join the good work of non-profit ministry... and others might simply find little ways to incorporate this vision of human dignity into their everyday lives, and change their community one word, one action, one person at a time. Each one of us can be, and are called to be, part of this new movement - a human dignity revolution that our societies need, and that we are uniquely placed as Christians to join. This compelling book shows you how to join the dignity revolution.

Review:

We live in an age of mass confusion about what it means to be human. Our dignity is repeatedly attacked by new worldviews which undermine the significance of human beings. This book is a compelling and careful articulation of human dignity according to Scripture. The Dignity Revolution carefully traces the worth of human endeavors and articulates a compelling vision for what it means to bear God s image. Darling is a faithful guide on these issues and this book is a welcome resource for the church. --Albert Mohler, President, the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

This may be one of the most important books of our time. This isn't a book to merely be read this is an igniting catalyst of a desperately needed revolution that could turn everything around for every single one of us and this whole broken-hearted world. --Ann Voskamp, New York Times bestselling author of One Thousand Gifts

For years I thought that only the lives of elderly and medically fragile people were under assault it s what happens in a culture that insists you are "better off dead than disabled." Now, however, the human dignity of families living on every cul-de-sac in America is under attack as the very definition of "human being" is altered. No longer is this an academic issue; it s impact is creeping into hospitals, schools, and businesses and our country is reeling. Daniel Darling s book is a must-read for every Christian looking for a solid language and good argument to halt the further dismantling of the sanctity of all human life. I highly recommend it! --Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni and Friends International Disability Center
