The Envy of Eve: Finding Contentment in a Covetous World

The Envy of Eve is about covetousness, envy, frustration and sin. More directed at women, it’s still a valuable read for every Christian.

It aims at helping us 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.
