Glittering Vices: A New Look at the Seven Deadly Sins and Their Remedies (2nd Edition)
1 / of1
This practical resource, now updated and revised throughout, helps Christian readers evaluate and reflect on contemporary conceptions of vices and possible remedies.
Drawing on centuries of wisdom from the Christian ethical tradition, this book takes readers on a journey of self-examination, exploring why our hearts are captivated by glittery but false substitutes for true human goodness and happiness. The first edition sold 35,000 copies and was a C. S. Lewis Book Prize award winner. Now updated and revised throughout, the second edition includes a new chapter on grace and growth through the spiritual disciplines. Questions for discussion and study are included at the end of each chapter.
