{"product_id":"9781599798844","title":"Overcoming Spiritual Blindness","description":"\u003cp\u003eAll too often our modern society lacks both sight and insight resulting\u003cbr\u003efrom a refusal to see the reality of creation. Such lack of recognition\u003cbr\u003eand appreciation for the Creator is spiritual blindness. Yet, the fruits\u003cbr\u003eand evidence of His love and wisdom are clearly demonstrated\u003cbr\u003eeverywhere we look. Author Dr. James Gills, a world-renowned\u003cbr\u003eophthalmologist with a deep love of the Bible, writes about spiritual\u003cbr\u003eblindness with stunning clarity and relevance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book illustrates a powerful biblical theme, often repeated\u003cbr\u003ethroughout the Scriptures: the analogy between the physical and the\u003cbr\u003espiritual realms regarding blindness and sight. From Isaiah’s vision of\u003cbr\u003ea day when God’s Messiah would be “a light for the Gentiles to open\u003cbr\u003eeyes that are blind” to the fulfillment of the prophecy when Paul was\u003cbr\u003esent to the Gentiles “to open their eyes and turn them from darkness\u003cbr\u003eto light, and from the power of Satan to God.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOvercoming Spiritual Blindness emphasizes the power and work of\u003cbr\u003ethe Holy Spirit. What the surgeon does for cataracts that hinder sight\u003cbr\u003ein the physical eye, the Holy Spirit does for the cataracts of the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOvercoming Spiritual Blindness exposes obstructions to spiritual\u003cbr\u003esight that cloud the lens of the soul. Such “cataracts” include pride,\u003cbr\u003emisguided concepts of money, preoccupation with work, distorted views of sex, and a critical spirit. The description of “the cataract of bitterness and an unforgiving spirit” gives such powerful insight that the reader must gain a new perspective of total forgiveness. The list of spiritual cataracts is vast and painfully relevant, highlighting the need for spiritual surgery to those who do not realize they are blind.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charisma Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147788534000,"sku":"9781599798844","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781599798844_p0.jpg?v=1769902150","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781599798844","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
