You Know This Cycle

You kneel in the confessional and whisper the words you have said a hundred times before. The priest absolves you. You walk out lighter and promise God that this time will be different.

Then, a few days later, it happens again.

If you know that cycle, this book was written for you.

The Sin You Keep Confessing is a direct, hope-filled guide for faithful Catholics who are tired of losing the same battle. Drawing on Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the wisdom of the saints, it shows you why the same sin keeps coming back and exactly how to break its hold on your life.
