Overcoming Temptation

Looking for a Lenten read for you or your congregation? Anglican Mission Bishop Todd Hunter’s latest book may be your answer. In Our Favorite Sins: The Sins We Commit and How You Can Quit, Bishop Todd addresses the daily temptation of sin in our lives, the fact that we too often “fail and fall,” and the defeat we feel from living with perpetual guilt and shame. Exclusive research conducted by the Barna Group reveals that 50% of Americans don’t know how to deal with temptation and 59% in the US confess they do nothing to avoid temptations they encounter. This book offers a distinctly Anglican perspective and spirituality, describing how the liturgy, sacraments and lectionary can empower life in the Spirit and strengthen us to withstand temptation.
