What's truly at the heart of our desires?
The Envy of Eve guides readers 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.
Melissa B. Kruger serves as director of Women's Initiatives for The Gospel Coalition. Her husband, Michael J. Kruger, is the president of Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte. She wrote The Envy of Eve and is a speaker at various Christian conferences across the United States.
