Three Ugly Sisters

“In this book, C. E. Hastie exposes the three ugly sisters (covetousness, jealousy, and envy) and their raw destructive natures. Hastie provides a mirror to the complexity of our heart, revealing these ugly sisters hidden in our very center. Only then, through sanctification, can we evict them.”


—Colin Shewry, author of Being Yourself in Jesus





“This book has been a timely reminder that, often without noticing, envy and jealousy can creep in, getting in the way of relationships and preventing me from living my best life. Using the ideas in Three Ugly Sisters has been a gift. I shall be using the help I have found here in my work in the community.”


—Mariska Minter, families and outreach worker, St. Pancras Church





“What impressed me most about this book was how it brought to light faults in my own personality of which I was completely unaware. However, even though ‘ugly’ things were revealed, as a committed Christian, it is uplifting to see my inner faults and to get a chance to correct them. Our life is a journey with many forks in the road and it is good to learn when we have unknowingly taken the wrong fork.”


—James McCaig, retired chaplaincy administrator, HM Naval Base





“Exposing the roots of our captivity, Hastie skillfully tackles the unpopular concept of ‘sin’ using comprehensive biblical knowledge with clarity, integrity, and insight. The result? As Hastie’s godly, practical wisdom permeates these pages, God’s living word begins to read me, exposing my own sinful heart which I thought intact.”
