At the Table of Being UnashamedA Socratic Dialogue on Living Without ShameBefore God and the WorldWhat if the thing you are most ashamed of is the very thing God is waiting to use?Five voices gather at a table. A former pastor carrying the weight of public failure. A woman running from herself through spending and noise. A man who accepted the ceiling the world assigned him and stopped knocking. A professional whose faith is real on Sunday and invisible on Monday.
And a believer who has walked the long way with God but still goes small in certain rooms. Socrates asks the questions nobody else will ask. And the table discovers that the unashamed life is not the life of the person who had it easy - it is the life of the person who finally stopped hiding. Through the stories of Daniel at the open window, David dancing before the Ark, Peter by the fire and in the streets of Jerusalem, and the rich young man who went away sad - this book presses every cave, names every snare, and points every voice toward the only verdict that counts.
The window is open. The table is set. The question has not changed. Do you love Me? Dennis R. PiearcyOrdained Southern Baptist pastor with thirty-five years of ministry experience. Author of the At the Table series and multiple works on suffering, discipleship, and the life of faith. Part of the At the Table Socratic Dialogue Series
