{"product_id":"9781456800772","title":"Conscience, Denied","description":"Literate Americans encounter the word \"conscience\" yet scarcely pay any attention to its source,  \u003cbr\u003eits proscriptions in human affairs, or its power to affect human conduct. The Conscience is  \u003cbr\u003ea weapon for survival and a tool to correct, protect and guide the individual in the often  \u003cbr\u003etroubled course of his or her life. These pages illustrate its applications and recognition down  \u003cbr\u003ethrough human history, beginning at the Fall of Adam and Eve. Whether or not the reader  \u003cbr\u003eshares that biblical account of human history is irrelevant. The actuality of conscience in  \u003cbr\u003ehuman relations and in the historicity of world events cannot be denied. Our pioneers did  \u003cbr\u003enot underscore the word, but every brave progress to settle America involved the conscience  \u003cbr\u003eof moral and ethical decisions. Is the land ours? Should I risk my family's lives to make this  \u003cbr\u003ejourney? What confi dence should I place in our caravan leader? How shall I honestly manage  \u003cbr\u003eto survive without theft, murder or mayhem? The very reality of survival, whether against  \u003cbr\u003ea military enemy or on wilderness excursion, calls upon the human conscience to discern  \u003cbr\u003ethe risks are or the sacrifi ce or potential loss of life in the doing. Miller has included several  \u003cbr\u003einteresting illustrations- a poem that deals with presidential lack of discernment, a river  \u003cbr\u003etrip that involves the choice of dangerous adventure or bank-side, and a brief drama that  \u003cbr\u003eillustrates the confrontation of Caesar with the original Christians. The conscience is directed,  \u003cbr\u003eusually unbeknownst to the possessor, by God's moral law of love for one's neighbor ie another  \u003cbr\u003ehuman being made in God's image. This law of the conscienced accounts for this great nation's  \u003cbr\u003ecompassion toward the world . . . and condemns abortion. euthanasia and fratricide. It also  \u003cbr\u003econtrols and includes the process of justice to protect the innocent.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128835883248,"sku":"9781456800772","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781456800772_p0.jpg?v=1763864805","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781456800772","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
