Jealousy--The Sin No One Talks about: How to Overcome Envy and Live a Life of Freedom [Paperback]

R.T. Kendall (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2010

Jealousy. We all have to deal with it—both in ourselves and in others. Jealousy is rooted in our natural fears and insecurities. It has damaged relationships since the time of Cain and Abel, and still does today—if we let it. In this wise and compassionate book, R.T. Kendall tackles, head-on, the sin that no one likes to admit to. He shows that it is only when we grasp that it is God we should aim to please that we will be able to recognize and overcome jealousy and, like Jesus, be jealous only for the glory of God.

This review is from: Jealousy--The Sin No One Talks about: How to Overcome Envy and Live a Life of Freedom (Paperback)

This latest book by R. T. Kendall spoke volumes to me from the very

first page. There are many applicable points in this book -

definitely a great title to add to your personal library. According

to the author, jealousy is easy to fall into because it feeds on our

insecurities. It is a very subtle sin and many times, we can be

jealous of someone or something and not even realize it. No one is

immune to this sin yet it is rarely addressed or talked about. R. T.

Kendall wrote this book to not only help us recognize jealousy and be

freed from the bondages of it, but to help us understand ourselves and others. I highly recommend this book!

This book is an excellent mirror for the reader. I didn't feel that jealousy was an issue in my life, which is true....on the surface! This book makes you take a good look at yourself, see what's really there deep down, and deal with it!

This review is from: Jealousy--The Sin No One Talks about: How to Overcome Envy and Live a Life of Freedom (Paperback)

As humans, we put sin on a ladder. Some just don't seem as bad to us as others. But there are a lot of "respectable sins" that really damage our lives, and jealousy is one of them. Author R. T. Kendal does a fine job of helping us recognize jealousy in our own lives and how to overcome it. The book is well-written and easy to read, even though the topic might be a difficult one for us to accept in ourselves!
