Seven Snares of the Soul: Finding Freedom in the Virtues of Christ

By The Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Schmitt

Pride. Greed. Wrath. Envy. Lust. Gluttony. Sloth. For centuries, Christians have recognized these as the seven deadly sins—the snares of the soul that entangle us, weaken us, and lead us away from the life God intends.

But for every snare, Christ provides a way of freedom. In this book, Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Schmitt leads readers on a journey through the seven deadly sins and their corresponding virtues: humility, generosity, patience, charity, purity, temperance, and zeal. Drawing from Scripture, Christian tradition, personal reflection, and practical application, he shows how the Spirit transforms weakness into strength, sin into virtue, and bondage into freedom.

This study is designed for both individual devotion and group use. Each chapter includes:

• A Scripture passage
• A classic Christian quote
• Teaching on the sin and virtue
• A personal meditation
• The author’s reflection from his own journey
• A poem to stir the heart
• A prayer for daily renewal

With an accompanying Study & Leader’s Guide, this book offers a rich resource for churches, small groups, and individuals longing to grow deeper in Christ.

The snares of the soul are real—but so is the freedom we find in Jesus.
