Mea Culpa

The acceptable sins are subtle in the sense that they deceive us into thinking they are not so bad, or not thinking of them as sins or even worse, not thinking about them at all! Many people walk in the way of the Lord and do their best to follow His word, but sometimes people make mistakes. It is human nature, for both those who have and have not found God. Mea Culpa, author Elma Chopra's latest book, discusses the acceptable or subtle sins that many devout Christians commit in everyday life, at times without realizing it. Elma Chopra, a born-again Catholic, examines the subtle ways in which humans can sin such as being judgmental or prideful. Even though those who have found God try to follow His word and Jesus' example, there are small moments where these sins can occur... Being prideful of your good works done for the community... Being thankless and joyless in what God has commanded you to do... Sins such as these can slip by the wayside, never to be addressed. Using examples from her own life, stories of others, and scripture, Elma shows Christians how to relate to what they are experiencing. Rather than to refuse to admit that they sin, she encourages Christians to reconcile themselves to the fact of sin and work to recognize and deal with it. After showing an understanding of how sins can slip into our lives without being noticed, the final chapters offer steps toward dealing with sins and healing to assist readers. Here, prayer, testimony, and experience contribute to the reader's journey towards restoration. If believers can acknowledge and seek forgiveness for their subtle sins, they will be following God's command. With this book, Elma hopes to bring herself and others closer to the Lord.
