Book Overview
How to overcome the habits that are stealing joy from your life
Our upside-down culture celebrates vice and undervalues virtue, leading us to feed the wrong habits while we allow life-giving practices to die. It's no wonder we feel empty, exhausted, and directionless.
There's a better, more fulfilling way to live, and it doesn't involve looking inside yourself for the answers--because that's not where you'll find them. With his signature wit and wisdom, Jonathan "JP" Pokluda helps you
● unpack the age-old virtues we're told to pursue in Scripture
● understand how these God-given goals free us to love and live as we wish we would
● redefine what's important to you and reclaim a life of virtue
Practicing virtues is not just something you do--it's something done in you, slowly but surely transforming you into the person you were meant to be all along.

You will not want to put this book down when you start reading it. It is such an inspiring book. Johnathan Pokluda did a really good job of putting his heart into everything he talked about in Why Do I Do What I Don't Want to Do? Which really helps draw your attention to the point of replacing Deadly Vices with Life-giving Virtues. Speaking through his own experience in this book and giving examples of how to go about replacing deadly vices with biblical virtues was really eye-opening to me. Replacing Deadly Vices with Life-Giving Virtues is a big struggle for me, especially trying to put it into practice. Thank you, Johnthan Pokluda, for writing an inspiring book.
