    About this ebook

    Motives: When Selfish Isnt Sinful will help you learn how to identify and use your selfish inner motives to find freedom from sin with complete and lasting fulfillment for your life.

    Discover the difference between your surface motives and your inner motives, and how to become more aware of them.

    Learn how the natural way of satisfying your inner motives will always result in emptiness and addiction to sin, while the spiritual way will always result in fulfillment and freedom from sin.

    Discover how trusting God to satisfy the deepest desires of your heart can give you the happiness you always wanted.

    Learn how to use the spiritual way to satisfy your inner motives, so you can experience all the pleasure, security, love, worth, wisdom, beauty, and purpose for your life you were always meant to have.

    See your deepest inner motives as the key to the best life you could ever live.
