{"product_id":"2940014362313","title":"HEART-SEARCHING TALKS TO MINISTERS","description":"Spiritual instruction in the churches is at a low ebb. Much emphasis is placed upon intellectual culture, attention is given to physical fitness, social studies are regarded as essential, but little thought is given to the direct impartation of spiritual truth necessary to strengthen the individual in the knowledge and love of God. In theological seminaries less emphasis is being placed upon the direct study of theology, and few modern seminary students are given the thorough grounding in philosophical and theological studies necessary to a right understanding of the principles of Christianity.\u003cbr\u003eThere is also a vanishing of many of the so-called prohibitions which marked the sanctity of the ministry within the church, or made definite the lines of demarcation between the church and the world. As a result the tendency on the part of the ministry and the church is away from the old lines of self-sacrifice, loyalty to convictions and the proclamation of those spiritual truths which laid bare the sins of worldliness. It is refreshing, therefore, to read the pages of a book so filled with wholesome advice to ministers and so dominated by a vision of spiritual truth as the Heart Talks With Ministers by Rev. E. E. Shelhamer.","brand":"Shelhamer Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47165179461872,"sku":"2940014362313","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014362313_p0.jpg?v=1763606815","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014362313","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
