In the spring of 1348, tales begin arriving in England of poisonous clouds fast approaching, which have overwhelmed whole cities and even countries, with scarcely a human being left. While some pray more earnestly and live yet more devoutly, others vow to enjoy themselves and blot out their remaining days on earth by drinking and gambling. And then there are those who hope that God's wrath might be averted by going on a pilgrimage. But if God was permitting his people to be punished by this plague, then it surely could only be because they had committed terrible sins? So when a group of pilgrims are forced to seek shelter at an inn, their host suggests that the guests should tell their tales. He dares them to tell their stories of sin, so that it might emerge which one is the best.That is, the worst ...

Leaders are falling victim to the deadliest sin every day! Many potentially great leaders never realize their potential because they unwittingly become slaves to their own pride. In The Deadliest Sin, youll find a penetrating look at the poison of pride in the life of a leader. Chuck Foreman says, Its high time we as leaders recognize that, as a rule, we are not very humble, and that humility is not the absence of pride, but the relentless effort to subdue pride in ourselves. "Be ready to laugh and cry. But most important, be ready to be confronted with the uncomfortable and even painful recognition of your own double standard in terms of pride and its opposite humility. Chucks book is honest, easy to read, and has short useful topics to discuss with your leadership team. I plan to use it with ours at Harvest." -Bob Moffitt, author, If Jesus Were Mayor.

Pride, lust, gluttony, greed, envy, sloth, and anger. They’re considered “deadly” because of their capacity to generate other evils. The truth is, we all sin and we do it all the time—in fact, usually several times over before breakfast! But human behavior, argues social psychologist Simon Laham, is more complex than “good” or “evil.” In psychology, these sins aren’t considered morally wrong or even uniformly bad, but are treated rather as complex and interesting psychological states that if, indulged wisely, can be functional, adaptive, and lead to a range of positive effects. The Science of Sin takes on these so-called sins one by one and through psychological research shows that being bad can be oh-so-good for you. Did you know that: · Being slow and lazy can help you win the race? · Anger makes you more open-minded? · Coveting what others have not only makes you more creative but bolsters self- esteem? So go ahead, eat that last cookie and kick back on the couch for a day of TV with your neighbor’s boyfriend—from gluttony to greed, envy to lust, Laham shows how even the deadliest, most decadent of vices can make you smart, successful, and happy.
