The Seven Deadly Sins: How To Overcome Life's Most Toxic Habits

This book looks in turn at each of the deadly sins and how they impact our lives today. There is a combination of scholarship and practical wisdom. What struck me in reading it is the fact that we are probably all tempted to some extent by each of the sins, but there are probably one or two that have a much greater control of our lives. I found myself wondering whether the suggestions for overcoming these sins offers enough to those whose lives are shaped by, for example, the abuse of food in one form or another, but it does offer the encouragement to seek help elsewhere.

I recently purchased this book to help with research but it has changed how I view myself and my own bad habits. An astonishingly good book. Easy to read and very interesting. It does preach in parts but then the subject matter originates from religion.

It's a good read.

a little gem of a book reminding us of the deadly consequence of sin in a society that has made it toothless and even desirable.

excellent

excellent, I am using this for themed preaching over seven weeks in the school summer holidays.

The truth is the human race is more sinned against than sinning. And original sin cannot be right! How is a new born baby sinful? Priests used to rush to baptise a baby if the child was too ill to survive! Original sin is the preposterous idea priest craft has promoted. A rather disappointing book.

Sin has been shunned in society recently but it will destroy those who ignore its dangers. This process may take many years but eventually the sinner will suffer greatly. Let go of your pride and arrogance and pick up this book, it will save your sanity aswell as your soul ;o)
