Sinning Like a Christian: A New Look at the 7 Deadly Sins

“Our souls will all be the better for having this one to read.” —Phyllis Tickle, compiler of The Divine Hours “Willimon has that capacity to turn a phrase, to come up with unexpected humor, and to nail his point with a right-on story.” —Tex Sample, author of Powerful Persuasion “The ‘sins’ of non-Christians,” says William H. Willimon, “tend to be rather puny. For Christians, sin is not so much inherent in the human condition, though it is that; rather, sin is the problem we have between us and God. It is rebellion against our true Sovereign, an offense against the way the Creator has created us to be.” In this new edition of his lively book, William H. Willimon, noted author, teacher, preacher, and retired United Methodist bishop, brings his blunt, eloquent, and humorous style to bear on the question of sin. His penetrating observations will be welcomed by readers who are dissatisfied with shallow, feel-good Christianity (from the left or the right) that does not attempt to grapple with our propensity to do evil. Includes discussion questions.
