Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the popular yet false notion that persistent religious neglect is often the result of deep questions about faith. Instead, the author maintains that self-deception is the real culprit, offering a variety of excuses that ultimately sabotage spiritual growth. The author analyzes the excuses people make to avoid religious obligations, explaining with both wit and wisdom how these excuses are actually self-serving deceptions that perpetuate spiritual neglect. The author believes that the most common of these self-serving deceptionsâ"and the most destructive to spiritual progressâ"is the idea that one is simply too busy, too tired, or too preoccupied to set aside time for God. The author dismantles this excuse, pointing out the abundance of time that people waste on frivolous pursuits. The author provides a profound analysis of human nature and explores the reasons we deceive ourselves and others. This book is a must-read for individuals seeking a deeper understanding of the obstacles to spiritual growth and the importance of prioritizing spiritual practices in our lives. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
