Publisher's Description
Envy might well be termed the silent sin. Because while all of us envy others to some extent, few of us acknowledge our problem out loud, let alone try to overcome it and move forward. Bob Sorge draws upon his own pastoral experience--plus the admitted burden of his own envy--to show why and how it can adversely affect the ministry of a church and even prevent revival in people's lives. Sorge reveals why comparison of our ministry and spiritual gifts to that of our fellow believers is to be avoided at all costs so that we do not hamstring God's plan for our growth and the accomplishment of His purposes. This is a must-read for leaders of all churches, great and small--and anyone who wants the peace that comes with a life free of envy.

“Bob Sorge has not only unearthed but has also helped us to overcome one of Christendom’s greatest deterrents to fruitfulness: envy. This will be a must-read for every vigilant leader who desires to make a difference within his or her lifetime. This message will save you 10 years of unnecessary pain!”
Dr. Wayne Cordeiro
“This book could not have come at a better time. Seemingly at every level of society we are seeing this insidious sin. Bob Sorge has a word from the Lord to rescue the Church from the poison of envy.”
“Envy: The Enemy Within is a book filled with scriptural exposition on the topic and keen insight into human nature and relationship. Although we might be reluctant to acknowledge it, what the author writes about is a shoe that fits all of us in one way or another. And since he spends a good amount of time addressing the problem within the Church, those of us in ministry might find it an especially good fit.”
