{"product_id":"self-deception-jacob-helffenstein-9781941281567","title":"Self-Deception: Its Nature, Evils, and Remedy","description":"These piercing statements apply to Christians because the natural mind is always tending toward deceptive self-righteousness. Also in part he is trying to provoke people who think they are Christians but are \"trusting in a refuge of lies,\" to reconsider. Some topics are: intellectual assent is not holiness; natural gifts and sentiments are not to be confused with true spiritual life; adopting healthy habits is not necessarily spiritual repentance; and zeal for a cause is not necessarily Christian devotedness. The huge participation rate of all mankind in self-deception should give one pause to reconsider these issues. Author \u003cb\u003eJacob Helffenstein\u003c\/b\u003e (1802-1884) was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was the third son of Dr. Samuel Helffenstein, who was part of a family of ministers. Jacob pastored the church in Chambersburg and Fayetteville, Pennsylvania from 1838-1841. From 1842-1869 he moved to the Market Square Church, a Reformed Church of Germantown, PA. In 1856 he changed the church to Presbyterian after dissenting about Mercersburg Theology because it had a tendency toward Romanism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacob Helffenstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1941281567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941281567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Curiosmith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.18d","brand":"Jacob Helffenstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442691453183,"sku":"9781941281567","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3a289c8d-988e-49fd-88bc-fe74563e9dee.jpg?v=1777199112","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/self-deception-jacob-helffenstein-9781941281567","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
