description: Randy Rowland, a minister and businessman, blends self-help and theology to help readers of all religions, practicing or lapsed, use the wisdom of the ages to break free from sin in their everyday lives. Drawing on his intimate understanding of worldly and spiritual matters, Rowland reveals why sins are so difficult to overcome, from the immediate emotional or physical gratification they give to the ease with which they can be rationalized away. In a society where such ready-made excuses as Other people do worse things every day have become common currency, Rowland argues that the first step to conquering our vices is to acknowledge the force they have over our lives.Exploring the sins of pride, envy, anger, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust within the context of contemporary times, Rowland provides a map to finding the way back to God's path. He shows that the antidote to sins comes in the form of virtues -- gifts from God that break the spell of the sins we love and bring us closer to him. In an engaging, personal style, without a hint of fire and brimstone, Rowland looks into the darkest corners of the human soul and offers reassurance and inspiration for people seeking a less sinful, more spiritually rewarding way of life.
