The seven deadly sins aren't new. Yet pride, envy, greed, anger, lust, gluttony, and sloth continue to capture our imaginations. This roll call of misdeeds has been memorialized and satirized in art, music, films, and countless hellfire and brimstone sermons-reduced to a cliché, even among Christ followers. But what if it is more than our imaginations that these sins have captured? While the list is contrived, what if the concept of sin being deadly is not? In this witty and relevant refresher on ancient teachings, Matt Gordon proposes a worldview that challenges the deadly sins and their deathly designs and strives instead for a more abundant life. Pushing past shame culture, he helps reframe motivation for obedience from guilt to love. Challenging us to examine the insidious nature of rebellion through the lens of hope, Matt offers assurances that the shalom of God, the sweet space held for us when we follow him, stands prepared to receive us. To empower us. To help us grow in love and goodness. The fall hints at death and decay-that winter is coming. But the spring of life awaits those willing to walk toward the light. Are you ready to take your life back?
