The Envy of Eve

De: Melissa B. Kruger

Narrado por: Teri C. Snell

The Envy of Eve guides listeners to understand how desires grow into covetousness and what happens when this sin takes power in our hearts. Covetousness chokes out the fruit of the Spirit in our lives, allowing discontentment to bloom. The key to overcoming is to get to the root of our problem: unbelief, a mistrust of God's sovereignty and goodness. An ideal resource for deeper study or group discussion.

"I commend this fine, new book...with a prayer that we all read and follow her Biblical counsel to fully understand the condition we are in and flee quickly to the One who truly satisfies our deepest longings and our true desires". (Michael Milton P,resident and Professor of Practical Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary)

"By focusing on Biblical truths and examples, Kruger opens our eyes to the scope and depth of covetousness in our lives, while also drawing us into the path of holiness and a life honoring and glorifying God." (Diana Lynn Severance, a historian with broad experience teaching in universities and seminaries)

"With empathy and grounded biblical insight, Melissa Kruger shows us the path to abiding joy amidst life's varied 'ups' and 'downs'." (Lydia Brownback, author of Contentment)

"In an age and culture where we all tend to have an overdeveloped sense of entitlement, this book makes a brilliant diagnosis that goes right to the heart of the problem." (Ann Benton, author and family conference speaker)

"With I've-been-there understanding and been-in-the-Word insight, Melissa B. Kruger helps us to look beneath the surface of our discontent, exposing our covetous hearts to the healing light of God's Word." (Nancy Guthrie, author of Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament Bible Study Series)

"Through biblical examples and sympathetic counsel we are pointed again and again to the delivering power of the Lord Jesus Christ." (Faith Cook, author of Troubled Journey)

So helpful for daily faith!

Are you discontent? This book was so convicting to me (in a good way!), and I realized the roots of my discontentment in life. But I found it encouraging as I now understand how I can truly be content.
The problem with the reader is not her voice but her incorrect pronunciation of so many words…it began to be frustrating.

Everyone should read this book

I will never forget what I learned. I love that the book is theologically sound and really encourages readers to reflect.

Helpful and convicting

Loved the ways the author gave real life examples of coveting in all areas of life and how to fight against it.
The reader was a huge distraction though. She clearly was unfamiliar with the Bible and consistently mispronounced names in Scripture.

Laugh out loud mispronunciations. Good content.

Narrator will make you laugh with the mispronunciations. No one edited this production. The content is good.

Very Convicting! Worth Your Time!

What is discussed in this book is it completely relevant to our hearts and minds today. I highly recommend it. The narrator is not all that great, but once you get used to her, you're still able to get the meat of the lessons. This was a very good book!
