    The Seven Deadly Virtues

    Temptations in Our Pursuit of Goodness

    by Todd E. Outcalt

    Our virtues can become our vices. Faith. Love. Family. Power. Success. Goodness. Generosity. Who among us wouldn't want to exhibit strength in these areas in our lives?

But even so-called virtues can be harmful to our souls if we're not careful ...

    by Beau Crosetto
    Foreword by Dave Ferguson

We tweet about a great new restaurant, we share pictures of our newborn child and we celebrate about receiving that sought-after promotion. We are evangelists for many great things. So why don't we do the same with Jesus? It's not hard to see that we bring our own anxieties and awkwardness into every evangelistic ...

    Strong and Weak Bible Study

    IVP Signature Bible Studies

    In these six easy-to-use studies written by spiritual formation ...
