But I've always wanted what you have...

You know that feeling, don’t you? When someone else receives the very thing you desire. When your best friend announces her engagement. When your sister says she’s pregnant. When your coworker gets the promotion. You lie to yourself and say you are happy for her . . . but you also feel something else. And that something is envy.

What if, in those moments, you were able to turn away from envy? What if your first response was joy?

In this book by Tilly Dillehay, you will learn to rejoice with others, experience greater contentment, and you will discover how to love your neighbor as yourself.

My brother-in-law just bought a Cybertruck

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s written in a gripping and convicting way. You can’t put it down without feeling the pain points of your own sins pressed. It was also very informative of attitudes and emotions that we experience in ourselves and others but it doesn’t hold back calling them what they are. I feel like fairness is such a sticking point right now so articulating how God made the world and our borrowed glories was extremely helpful to me and how I lead my family through blessing and sharing in others joy. Like when your brother-in-law pays cash for a Cubertruck haha!

Hard to read? Stay on it!

It took me a long time to see how bad envy had rotted out areas of my life, but God is faithful to forgive us our sins. Tilly Dillehay does a great job walking through some of the common ways envy settles into the bones and why it's enormously dangerous. I am thankful for her Biblical stance as she reminds us that Christ is all, and in him, envy has no room to roost.

Thoughtful Study on Envy

Very thoughtful and well written book on an often-overlooked topic. It is very easy to ignore this sin, but it can often be the groundwork for many others. Tilly Dillehay unpacks the importance of seeing envy in our own lives.

Convicting and Encouraging

This book was a doctrinally sound look at envy and leaves the reader with understanding of the devastating effect it has on us when it goes unchecked. The author's writing is engaging, biblical, and convicting.
