We don't talk about sin much anymore. This is a good start.

In his usual style of challenging thought Tony Campolo takes on the seven deadly sins and relates them to modern, western culture. Today it seems as though very few people are willing to openly talk about sin and call it what it is ... SIN. That is what Campolo does. He covers the sins by giving broad and specific examples of them, helping you to understand how you might actually struggle with these sins, and then helps you to develop a strategy to overcome these sins through the grace of Christ. I don't want to call it refreshing to be convicted over my own pride or gluttony, but it was very different from much of the other Christian writing out there that seems to focus on "self-help" instead of repentance. Campolo does an excellent job of continuing to point to our (and his own) short comings and then pointing to the unmerited favor of our loving God.
