Seven Deadly Sins: The Uncomfortable Truth

by Dan Boone

Sin.It's ugly. It's deceptive.It meddles with contentment, confuses wisdom, and disfigures love.It's the one thing that keeps us from really knowing God.But talking about sin makes us uncomfortable.It's a loaded word. What is sin to one person is not necessarily sin to another; we don't want to sound harsh or judgmental, so we avoid using it.And we avoid exposing it.We clean up after its messes, confess our human weakness when it gets us in trouble, and learn to just live with it.But are we really living? How marginal do we make life when we entangle it with something so deadly?This book is not a history lesson on sin or a guilt-based study on the evils of our society. It is a relevant, thought-provoking look at the seven imperfections that sin uses to tarnish and infect our lives.Written with compassion and understanding, this perceptive and challenging book will reshape your awareness of sin and remind you of a sin-free Savior who gives us the grace to become like Him.

I heard the author at a conference this past summer, and saw this book by him for sale. I picked it up, and when I had finished other books I was reading at the time, started digging into it. there is a local quality to his writing that makes his prose, in places seem poetic. however, he does not let style or art hinder the message. The author takes one of the oldest subjects in Christian devotional literature, The Seven Deadly Sins,. and explored them in the context of Christian Holiness. The wiring is not academic, easily readable and very personable. It is simple enough anyone can understand, but deep enough to reward future re-reading.
