In the spiritual struggle in which all of us must engage on the path to salvation, one of the greatest challenges is to crucify daily the many passions that war against us from our youth. Specifically, we must replace the seven deadly passions – pride, anger, lust, envy, gluttony, avarice, and sloth – with the virtues that enable us to become like God.
Fr Joseph Huneycutt’s book, DEFEATING SIN, presents a detailed examination of the sinful passions and their corresponding virtues, a guide for repentance and confession, and meditations that encourage both an understanding and a realization of spiritual growth.
This text is an excellent spiritual guide for the individual Orthodox Christian who truly seeks to grow in theosis and a template for retreats and workshops that focus on this very important subject on the parish, deanery or diocesan level. A creative and inspiring approach that is both Scriptural and patristic-based, I wholeheartedly recommend this work for clergy and laypersons alike.
