Story
The bundle covers the stories of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob with a bonus book on Lot, Abraham's nephew. The Bible tells us that Abraham was God's friend and he was chosen to head up all of God's people, including us in the Church today. They were not a perfect family, indeed, these stories will raise your eyebrows at times, they are so dysfunctional. The story of Abraham is a journey through life. It is a journey all of us are called to make.

Story
What would happen if you admitted you weren't a good person? It's a seemingly crazy question. From priests to prisoners, nearly everyone thinks they're morally better than average. Why change our minds? In his conversational and delightfully self-effacing style, Brant Hansen shows us why we should fight our drive to be self-righteous: it's breathtakingly freeing. What's more, just admitting that we're profoundly biased toward ourselves and want desperately to preserve our rightness at all costs even helps us improve our relationships with God and others.

Story
As Christians, we believe that all sins are considered equal in God's eyes. Yet while evangelicals continue to decry the Big Ones--such as abortion, adultery, and violence--we often overlook more deceptive sins. It seems we have created a sliding scale where gossip, jealousy, and selfishness comfortably exist within the church. In short, some sins have simply become acceptable.

Summary
The only deadly sin that is not a sin of commission.
Sloth, or laziness, is not something we do; rather, it’s NOT doing something we should that makes it so sinful. The Latin words “tristitia” or “acedia” mean “without care.” When we stop caring, things go wrong. How come laziness is so destructive, especially when we are not actually doing something wrong?
What does the Bible say about sloth? Is it even mentioned there?
Is there such a thing as “good laziness?”
What modern-age faces of sloth do we get confronted with?
How do we avoid becoming lazy, especially when it has become easier to give up and miss out on life?
In holy writ, life is sometimes referred to as a spiritual war. This analogy can have a lasting effect on our attitude. When we look at it this way, we must figure out how to become a better soldier for the right cause, and to actively get engaged in good projects and activities that make the world a better place. This is exactly the kind of thinking you will learn about when you pick up this audiobook. It will help you avoid excuses, see the sin of sloth for what it really is, and motivate you to become a better person.

I am sending this book to some of my family member
Man, I wish they would listen to something like this. They just hang around the house, never help out, don't respond when you ask them something. The sin of sloth is probably more prevalent in the 21st century than ever before.

Don't be lazy!
I see it all around me and I am glad my dad (workaholic) taught me some basic principles of hard work. There lies a balance in that too, though. Working too hard can be detrimental too.

I thought this was going to be a boring lecture about not being lazy, but in fact, I was amazed at the scriptures, Bible verses, and other quotes the author got into this. Moreover, his comments were pretty smart as well. Nice for self reflection.

For the lazy
I felt kind of lazy when I lay on my back listening to this book about being lazy. But sloth is so much more, it's an addictive attitude of not being passionate to accomplish or give back anything in life. It was an interesting analysis of this one of the seven sins.
