{ "item_title" : "Pure In Heart", "item_author" : [" Alfred Solomon "], "item_description" : "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.It is the most beautiful promise Jesus ever made, and the most unsettling. Because if seeing God requires a pure heart, who qualifies?We say follow your heart, but the Bible means something far bigger by that word: not your feelings, but your whole inner self, the hidden control room of thought, desire, and will from which everything in your life flows. And Scripture is bracingly honest about its condition: it hardens like Pharaoh's, deceives like David's, divides like Augustine's, and cannot cure itself.That is not where the story ends. It is where the gospel begins.Pure in Heart traces the Bible's stunning answer: a God who does not demand that we renovate our hearts, but promises to replace them. I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. Through the true stories of David and Nathan, Augustine, John Newton, Corrie ten Boom, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and through the surprising places where psychology and neuroscience echo the ancient text, this book walks the whole road: what the heart is, what went wrong, what God has promised, how the promise arrived, and how to live it, including in the age of the infinite scroll, where the most powerful companies on earth are engineered to capture the attention that forms your heart.It does not flinch from the hard questions. How do I know my heart has really changed? Why does the same suffering soften one heart and harden another? Is a broken heart the same as a guilty one? And the question that runs through every chapter: who sits in the control room of your heart?Each chapter closes with a prayer, and the book ends with a blessing. Free companion resources (a Study Companion for groups, a 12-lesson Course, and a 7-week Sermon Series) make it ready for churches, classes, and families.Book 1 of The Heart Series. The pure in heart shall see God.
