The Standard Is the Standard: The Narrow Road

By George G Barnes

The Standard Is the Standard is a SoulLit Noir field manual for people who are done lowering the bar for claps. GEORGE "G" BARNES-builder, father, therapist-hearted scribe-turns revelation into routine with a BLACKPRINT on every chapter: AM/MID/PM steps, scripts, and receipts you can hand to a witness.

This book walks the narrow road in five GATES:

Gate I - Where the Standard Got Lost: Swap applause for fruit, break inherited faux-holiness, and stop renting your convictions.

Gate II - The Cost of the Narrow Road: Secret obedience, clean exits, and boundaries without apology-mercy first, heroics never.

Gate III - The Standard Is Still Holy: Timeless truth, gatekeeping self, killing excuses; Faithfulness is the new flex and joy is legal fuel.

Gate IV - How to Walk It Out Daily: Relationships, business, fatherhood/family, suffering, and silence-turned into systems you can calendar.

Gate V - The Legacy of the Standard: Build for children's children: stability over trends, critique triage, lasting over liked, and an Altar Package that keeps rivals off the throne.

The house framework includes the TPDA discernment map (Case 1 God did / Case 2 God hid & helped / Case 3 God permitted), a North Card you read daily ("methods flex; morals don't"), a Lasting Dashboard that tracks behavior metrics heaven counts, and a Witness Log to keep claims humble and fruit visible.

What you'll gain

Standards that become systems (BLACKPRINTS you can measure).

Scripts for Clear - Kind - Closed boundaries and Silence Windows that save your peace.

A Clean Commerce Creed for righteous work (pricing - scope - time - truth - credit).

Who it's for
