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 shoes 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—you—are uniquely placed as Christians to be join.
This compelling book shows you how to join the dignity revolution.

Outro: Learning from the Zong—What Will Be Our Legacy?
"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."
