Praise for Even Deadlier:

“These fourteen stories by renowned writers, some famous and some not, amount to two stories for each day of the week, two for each of the sins pronounced deadly by Pope Gregory the Great. And what are the wages of reading and contemplating those notorious transgressions? Ah, pleasure! Pleasure without guilt or consequence and then some nonfatal glimmers of wisdom, too. Another excellent collection from the Great Books Foundation.”– Julia Spicher Kasdorf, professor of creative writing, Pennsylvania State University, and author of Eve’s Striptease

Praise for The Seven Deadly Sins Sampler:

“Here they are, the deeply human faces of sin. The wonderful sort works of fiction gathered in The Seven Deadly Sins Sampler remind us that most of our problems arise in the hidden recesses of the human heart.” — Ronald M. Green, professor of ethics and human values, Dartmouth College

“It is instructive to hear what some of our greatest literary lights have thought about good and evil, right and wrong, sin and valor. If there are indeed seven deadly sins, this collection will make you think differently about them and about yourself.” —Cathleen Falsani, religion columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times and author of The God Factor: Inside the Spiritual Lives of Public People
