Even in our frenetic lives, we are all guilty of sloth, the sin of being superficial and ignoring and not caring about what is good and important in life. In these elegant and thoughtful essays, Dr. Blackwell takes us on a spiritual journey through the Bible, history, and culture to reveal what sloth is and how we can overcome it in our modern lives.
