Envy - by Bob Sorge (Paperback)

About the Book

The silent sin of envy can adversely affect one's ministry and even prevent revival, but here is help and hope for leaders of all churches, great and small--and anyone who wants the peace that comes with a life free of envy.

Book Synopsis

Envy might well be termed the silent sin. Because while all of us envy others to some extent, few of us acknowledge our problem out loud, let alone try to overcome it and move forward. Bob Sorge draws upon his own pastoral experience--plus the admitted burden of his own envy--to show why and how it can adversely affect the ministry of a church and even prevent revival in people's lives. Sorge reveals why comparison of our ministry and spiritual gifts to that of our fellow believers is to be avoided at all costs so that we do not hamstring God's plan for our growth and the accomplishment of His purposes. This is a must-read for leaders of all churches, great and small--and anyone who wants the peace that comes with a life free of envy.
