Envy

A Big Problem You Didn't Know You Had

By: Mike Fabarez

Narrated by: Brian Arens

It’s often undetected—but if you knew the damage it was causing, you’d do everything possible to root it out!

Envy. It’s insidious. Pervasive. Corrosive. In the age of materialism and social media, it’s difficult not to feel the creep of this increasing and ever-present temptation. Pastor and teacher Mike Fabarez diagnoses the problem of this pervasive sin. He brings the listener to biblical stories with often-overlooked ties to envy that expose and demonstrate the seriousness and harm caused by our unexamined motives. When envy is allowed to reside unchecked in our hearts, there are internal, relational, and societal costs—Envy explores all of these.

But we are not left to despair. Instead, we are invited to know a kind and gracious Father who calls us to identify and assault this enemy. We can live with satisfaction and contentment. This book explores biblical ways to shore up our hearts and minds and close the gaps that leave us vulnerable to envy’s temptations. By understanding life in the body of Christ, listeners learn to truly rejoice with those who rejoice. And we leave with a deeper capacity for grace and selfless love. With a pastoral heart, Fabarez reassures Christians of the divine hope and promise of an eternal kingdom where hearts are content and joy is full.

Insightful and deep

I had never fully examined just how many of the Bible’s characters and stories were characterized and motivated by the sin of envy. The author does a great job of pointing to these, but also giving practical, real-world application to our time today.

How envy is evil

This book really made me reflect on my life and helped me understand people more and not to take things personal.

Biblical and practical

Great Biblical passages that identify this problem buried deep in our subconscious. Also great practical tips on how to counter attack.

Wow, so good!

So powerful! The respectable sin of envy in our lives is so destructive! We must lean on the Lord and be introspective in our lives! This is a must read!
