Hakes\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRevisiting The Challenging Counterfeit, is an extended review of Raphael Gasson's 'The Challenging Counterfeit' (1966). Raphael was an ethnic Jew whose spiritual journey included many years as a Christian Spiritualist minister. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eToday, when psychic phenomena captures the imagination and the bank accounts of popular media, it is useful to unearth the witness of one who had well worn the T-shirt of a medium with pride, only to bury it in holy ground as a thing of shame and of sorrow and of wasted time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChallengingly, his book exposes what true Spiritualism is. He had nothing but high praise for Spiritualists, and deep condemnation for Spiritualism. For he had discovered true Spiritualism to be itself a fake of true Spirituality, a mere Counterfeit that, in deposing death in the mind, enthroned it in the soul. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCounterfeit phenomena covered include apparitions, Rescue Work and haunted houses, materialisation of pets, psychic healing, Lyceums, clairvoyance, and OOBEs-to name but a few. This book surveys his exposé of Spiritualism's offer of tantalising bait for fish, false food falling short of real food for the soul. Though it takes issue with Raphael on a number of points, his core insights are powerful and timely, helping us to avoid-or escape from-a Challenging Counterfeit, and to discover true spiritual currency.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.28 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 07, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53801708159283,"sku":"9781838094638","price":16.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/yKbF9X0NPX9781838094638.webp?v=1785975589","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/revisiting-the-challenging-counterfeit-spiritualism-and-christianity-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
