Man Virtues: What the Hell Am I Doing with My Life?
Robert P. Lockwood (you can call him Bob) has asked the same question you've asked dozens of times:
"What the hell am I doing with my life?"
Like you, he has wondered why he does what he does, and why it can be so hard to be the person he wants to be. In the end, it's about wanting happiness. Not three-beer happiness, I-got-a-raise happiness, or the-Steelers-made-the-playoffs happiness, but that quiet contentment that comes from living a good life.

Manual for Conquering Deadly Sin
In any struggle, you must know your enemy. Hence, Part I:
- Defines sin and distinguishes between mortal and venial sins.
- Examines each of the classical seven deadly sins: lust, gluttony, avarice, sloth, anger, envy, and pride.
- Reveals their causes, manifestations, and more.
- Provides specific advice and remedies for conquering each deadly sin in your own life.
- Identifies those corresponding virtues which must be cultivated in order to rid yourself of deadly sin.
Part II, features a compilation of passages from Church teaching and Scripture, along with quotes from the saints that complement and give life to the reflections in Part I.
As Fr. Kolinski makes clear-- the truest medicine is found in the sacramental life of the Church. But, in addition to the graces found in frequent confession and reception of the Eucharist, the Manual for Conquering Deadly Sin will be an indispensable aid in your fight; an invaluable resource for every person serious about salvation.
