The Seven Deadly Virtues

temptations in our pursuit of goodness

Plot

Faith. Love. Family. Power. Success. Goodness. Generosity. Who among us wouldn't want to exhibit strength in these areas of our lives? It's hard to imagine this list being similar to the "seven deadly sins" that we strive to avoid, such as greed, lust, and slothfulness. But even so-called virtues can be harmful to our souls if we are not careful about how we pursue them in our lives.

Todd Outcalt explores the fine line between virtues and vices, and he helps us to discern the difference between the two. Using biblical insights, classic and contemporary illustrations, and thoughtul commentary, he uncovers ways our flawed priorities and values can masquerade as healthy religious practices and goals.
