Our Favorite Sins - New book from Todd Hunter

Author Todd Hunter

February 23, 2012

Our Favorite Sins - Todd HunterInformed by exclusive Barna research findings and more than three decades of pastoral experience, Our Favorite Sins shines a revealing light on temptation for contemporary readers and demonstrates how ancient, liturgical, and sacramental forms of Christian spirituality can assist a follower of Jesus in defeating temptation and getting victory over sin.

Our Favorite Sins provides the only resource that matches a perceptive awareness of the sins we face today with the solutions and strategies employed by our brothers and sisters who trod similar paths in centuries past.

 

After finishing Our Favorite Sins, readers will:

  • be equipped to battle the temptations they face
  • have a unique and empowering perspective on sin and temptation
  • know that while their particular temptations may seem unique to them, they also share a strong bond with believers of the past  

As a bishop, author, and a frequent speaker, the author is positioned to appeal to readers in two broad audiences: the mainline liturgical world and the evangelical community.

Our story, as seen in the pages of the Bible and in the narratives of church history, reveals how God rescues people from traps, giving freedom, granting fresh starts and empowering new beginnings.  God makes us new for a life in the Kingdom.  Our life counts and we are growing into His image as we encounter him through spiritual disciplines and practices.  Paul says it well, “Everything – and I do mean everything – connected with that old way of life has to go.  It’s rotten through and through.  Get rid of it!  And then take on an entirely new way of life – a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you” (Ephesians 4:22-24, Message Bible).

Our story, as seen in the pages of the Bible and in the narratives of church history, reveals how God rescues people from traps, giving freedom, granting fresh starts and empowering new beginnings.  God makes us new for a life in the Kingdom.  Our life counts and we are growing into His image as we encounter him through spiritual disciplines and practices.  Paul says it well, “Everything – and I do mean everything – connected with that old way of life has to go.  It’s rotten through and through.  Get rid of it!  And then take on an entirely new way of life – a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you” (Ephesians 4:22-24, Message Bible).

 

Our outward journey involves using our ears by listening to people and relies heavily on the leading of the Holy Spirit.  Our job is to love the people he places in our lives and be the kind of Christians they can trust when they are ready to talk about faith.

 

When one arrives at our event, they will notice something different.  It is not so much a seminar or a conference.  It is more like a teaching-retreat.  A participant will experience a time to connect with God through silence, teaching, small group interaction and Holy Communion.  We conclude by each guest being sent on mission with a life infused with new meaning and purpose.  The teachings will incorporate the core principles from my books (see toddhunter.org) on Kingdom living and spiritual formation for the sake of others..
