Defeating Sin: Overcoming Our Passions and Changing Forever

Defeating Sin will help readers better understand the disease that troubles the human soul. Fr Joseph David Huneycutt arms readers for spiritual warfare by giving them the tools to help them repent, to turn away from the passions and toward the virtues, and to make a thorough confession.

Providing both the “diagnosis” and a course of spiritual therapy, Defeating Sin investigates the nature of the passions and the saving grace of the virtues. Many fundamental questions are explored:

–What led to the fall of the devil and his angels?

–What led to the fall of Adam and Eve?

–What causes our own falls?

–How can we identify the deceptions and temptations of the enemy?

–How do we get up when we fall?

–How can we struggle toward God-pleasing solutions to our problems?
