Self-deception does not always take the form of conscious dishonesty. It can enter our interpretations, our habits, and even a faith that has become merely outward, when we protect an image of ourselves instead of welcoming truth.
With a restrained, non-accusing voice, this book explores the workings of inner illusion in the light of Scripture, theological reflection, and human experience. It seeks to illuminate in order to heal, rather than expose in order to condemn.
The proposed journey leads from a deceitful heart toward reconciled sincerity: allowing God to search what is hidden, laying down the exhaustion of appearances, and discovering that truth brings freedom.
