Pretty good book so far! I didn't know the 8 Wicked Thoughts/Deadly Sins came from the 8 enemies of Israel (Egypt, Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, Jebusites).

Also, the Israelite march out of Egypt (the land of sin) through the Red Sea (the waters of baptism) fighting enemies in the desert (vices in our life) to get to the Promised Land (Heaven) is symbolic for our spiritual life!
