The Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Cardinal Virtues [Hardcover]

James Stalker (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1998

GOOD AND EVIL.

It has long been believed that there are seven sins from which all others grow. These seven deadly sins serve as warnings to those traveling the path of the Christian life-for it is these sins and those that stem from them that most often lead us astray.

These sins are balanced by seven virtues. Cultivating these cardinal virtues builds Christian character and leads to a lifestyle that is pleasing to God.

Originally published as two separate volumes in 1901 and 1902 by the American Tract Society, The Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Cardinal Virtues gives believers a guide for facing good and evil in their Christian journey.

This review is from: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Cardinal Virtues (Hardcover)

Stalker's analysis is profound and concise. The chapters are very short; however, the reader is left in contemplation long after the last page is turned. You may enter this book with the misconception of having committed one of these vices. You will be disillusioned to find that you are guilty of all of them since they each come in many forms.
