Reveiw

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.
