When life doesn't seem to want to go our way, it's easy to begin to feel discouraged. I'm not good enough; I'm not smart enough; I'm not gifted enough. Was I really meant for this? But how often do we look inward and truly analyze the way our own thinking has affected our trajectory? How might we free ourselves from these self-imposed limitations? What could a shift in mindset do for you? Seven Deadly Thoughts seeks to answer these questions and more. Armed with practical insight and biblical evidence, author Travis Hall leads us through an exploration of all the ways that people's own minds-even more than their circumstances or lack of provision or opportunity-can be their greatest saboteurs. Inspired by the author's encounters with and observations of a number of talented, gifted, intelligent individuals who kept themselves from flourishing by wallowing in doubt, hidden fears, and believing lies about themselves, this book aims to provide hope and encouragement to anyone stuck in a rut of deadly thinking. Join in and discover how you can identify and eliminate the deadly thoughts that bar you from the fullness of your God-given potential. Travis serves as the Lead Pastor of Life Church International, a dynamic and diverse congregation in Metro Atlanta and holds his Bachelors of Science degree in Ministry with an emphasis in Leadership/Administration from Lee University and his Masters in Ministry with an emphasis on Spiritual Formation from Richmont Graduate University. He has 18 years of ministry experience, and is passionate about helping leaders start well and stay well, and helping people discover, develop, and protect their God given purpose. Travis engages weekly with a community of growing leaders on Instagram @pastortravishall and on his blog cultivatemypurpose.com. Travis resides in Atlanta with his wife Tina and their five children.

This volume unpacks the psychological insights found in the writings of three early monks--Evagrius Ponticus (fourth century), John Cassian (fifth century), and Gregory the Great (sixth century)--to help us appreciate the relevance of these monastic writers and apply their wisdom to our own spiritual and psychological well-being. The book addresses each of the seven deadly sins, offering practical guidance from the early monastic tradition for overcoming these dangerous passions. As Dennis Okholm introduces key monastic figures, literature, and thought of the early church, he relates early Christian writings to modern studies in psychology. He shows how ancient monks often anticipated the insights of contemporary psychology and sociology, exploring, for example, how their discussions of gluttony compare with current discussions regarding eating disorders. This book will appeal to readers interested in spirituality, early monastic resources, and ancient wisdom for human flourishing, as well as students of spirituality and spiritual formation.

The Desert Fathers were the first Christian monks, living in solitude in the deserts of Egypt, Palestine, and Syria. In contrast to the formalised and official theology of the "founding fathers" of the church, the Desert Fathers were ordinary Christians who chose to renounce the world and live lives of celibacy, fasting, vigil, prayer and poverty in direct and simple response to the gospel. Their sayings were first recorded in the 4th century and consist of spiritual advice, anecdotes and parables. The Desert Fathers' teachings and lives have inspired poetry, opera and art, as well as providing spiritual nourishment and a template for monastic life.

Until recently little has been known about Evagrius of Pontus. His work on the eight evil thoughts was widely influential in the development of the idea of the Seven Deadly Sins in the Western Spiritual tradition. But those who followed him, from Cassian to Augustine, were more concerned with attributing guilt, and thought in a forensic way. This was very unlike the thought of Evagrius who concerned himself with questions about how to deal with evil thoughts and temptations in a healing way. Each chapter deals with one of the Thoughts, giving the contemporary background, the biblical and theological background, the teaching of Evagrius and what came after, and its relevance for us today.
