by Mitch Pacwa

Overview

What is sin, why did it happen, and how can we overcome it? Popular EWTN host and speaker Fr. Mitch Pacwa uses his extensive knowledge of the Scriptures to take us on a tour of the Bible to help us understand sin and why we need Jesus in our lives to defeat it.

Pacwa provides guidelines for meditating on important passages in the Gospels to understand how Jesus dealt with sinners and to help us examine our consciences. He also shows readers how to use the psalms to pray for repentance and forgiveness. Fr. Pacwa concludes with some practical strategies for living a virtuous and victorious life in Christ.
