Summary
We live in an upside-down culture。 We wink at our vices as coping strategies while restricting our virtues to our online personas， where they won't interfere with our real lives。 And we wonder why we feel empty， exhausted， and directionless。 But why do we do things that we know are harmful for us？
Jonathan "JP" Pokluda wants you to know there's a better， more fulfilling way to live， and it doesn't involve looking inside yourself for the answers--because that's not where you'll find them。 With his signature wit and wisdom， he explains， unpacks， and expands on the age-old virtues we're told to pursue in Scripture: humility， forgiveness， generosity， diligence， self-control， authenticity， rest， and optimism。 Far from being restrictive， these God-given goals for living free us to love and live as we wish we would。
Practicing virtues is not just something you do--it's something done in you， slowly but surely transforming you into the person you were meant to be all along。 Whether you're 18 or 80， it's never too late to redefine what's important to you and reclaim a life of virtue。

JP does an outstanding job of highlighting the 10 most likely ways the enemy will *try to* take you out。 But not just that- he offers 10 life giving virtues to counter the enemy's schemes to steal， kill， and destroy you。 With raw transparency and honesty， readers are given access to first-hand experiences with each of the 10 vices highlighted in this book by way of personal testimony of JP’s life BC （before Christ）。 If you're a follower of Jesus looking for more- this is an absolute must read， w JP does an outstanding job of highlighting the 10 most likely ways the enemy will *try to* take you out。 But not just that- he offers 10 life giving virtues to counter the enemy's schemes to steal， kill， and destroy you。 With raw transparency and honesty， readers are given access to first-hand experiences with each of the 10 vices highlighted in this book by way of personal testimony of JP’s life BC （before Christ）。 If you're a follower of Jesus looking for more- this is an absolute must read， whether you're 18 or 80。 Your toes will be stepped on， your soul will be convicted， and your heart’s affections will be stirred toward the Father。 I believe by the end of this book， your faith will be stronger & your walk with Christ will be closer。 I would recommend reading this with a small group or an accountability partner， as there are questions at the end of each chapter to consider & discuss。 I read it alone this go-round as part of the launch team， but I will re-read closer with community ASAP。 。。。more

Another outstanding book by Jonathan Pokluda。 In “Why Do I Do What I Don't Want to Do？”， JP calls believers to pursue holiness by turning from their vices and replacing them with Christian virtue。 If you ever find yourself like Paul in Romans 7， wondering why you keep doing the things you don't want to do and why you are not able to consistently do the things you want to do。。。this is the book for you。 Complacency is the enemy of spiritual growth。 Without a plan to address the areas where Satan h Another outstanding book by Jonathan Pokluda。 In “Why Do I Do What I Don't Want to Do？”， JP calls believers to pursue holiness by turning from their vices and replacing them with Christian virtue。 If you ever find yourself like Paul in Romans 7， wondering why you keep doing the things you don't want to do and why you are not able to consistently do the things you want to do。。。this is the book for you。 Complacency is the enemy of spiritual growth。 Without a plan to address the areas where Satan has found a foothold in our lives， we will continually find ourselves drifting away from holiness。 In this book JP presents ten vices with the corresponding virtue。 （e。g。: pride/humility， greed/generosity， lust/self-control） He shows ways each vice presents in our lives and how to replace those vices with their corresponding virtue。 JP is that refreshingly honest friend we all need。 One minute he has you laughing at some self-deprecating story and then all the sudden he is speaking truth into your life， urging you to repent and move towards godliness。 Proverbs 27:6 tells us “Faithful are the wounds of a friend"… JP is that friend。 He tells you not what you want to hear， but what you need to hear。 This book will illuminate areas of your life where you are falling short and push you to move past complacency and to strive for holiness。 。。。more

This book invites the reader to stop and consider the trajectory of their lives and provides insight into some of the ways the enemy attacks us。 When we know the tactics the enemy uses， we can better have a defense for it。 This book brings some harsh realities to light about choices make and gives insight to where those choices will lead。 It provides the reader with a fork in the road: to remain on a path following vices that do not honor God， or choose to pursue the virtues that lead us closer This book invites the reader to stop and consider the trajectory of their lives and provides insight into some of the ways the enemy attacks us。 When we know the tactics the enemy uses， we can better have a defense for it。 This book brings some harsh realities to light about choices make and gives insight to where those choices will lead。 It provides the reader with a fork in the road: to remain on a path following vices that do not honor God， or choose to pursue the virtues that lead us closer into relationship with God。 If you desire to grow in your relationship with God， this book is for you。 It is a good place to start to understand where you may be most tempted to go your own way。 Then dive into the Word and let the Spirit lead you to grow in faith and character。 For me the chapter on Apathy and Diligence was a harsh truth in realizing the apathy in my own life。 I love how JP ended that chapter: “Rebuilding is work。 But through diligence， you have the opportunity to build something stronger…。 Your faith will be built up into something that can remain firm through life’s biggest challenges。” 。。。more

This book is impactful for Christian readers of any age。 JP does a fantastic job in this， and all his books， of articulating the point and message clearly。 He challenges readers to look more like Jesus in a convicting and loving way。 There are points in this book that will challenge your thinking and feelings about your relationship with God - and yourself。 Jon Pokulda has done it once again。。。 go read this book！

I just know JP always writes the best books， from the reviews to the intro and every detail， every word is always so honest and transparent with everything and you don't really see that a lot in in many Christian books。 Why Do I Do What I Don't Want to Do will give you a different perspective on improving your habits as a Christian because it's just not another self help book， this one is different and it will change your way of thinking for sure。 I just know JP always writes the best books， from the reviews to the intro and every detail， every word is always so honest and transparent with everything and you don't really see that a lot in in many Christian books。 Why Do I Do What I Don't Want to Do will give you a different perspective on improving your habits as a Christian because it's just not another self help book， this one is different and it will change your way of thinking for sure。 。。。more

The title of this book is what I have asked myself many times when struggling with sin and when struggling in life in general。 Why do I do it？ The person I want to be and the person I truly am are two different people sometimes。 This book is incredible yet challenging at the same time。 JP calls the believer to a life that is so much better than falling into the trap of sin over and over again。 Come discover how to begin the journey of pursuing virtues instead of vices。

This book is phenomenal if you’re looking to take the next step in your faith！ JP covers the ancient battles and modern wars that we face in our daily battles against our sin nature。 These topics include pride & humility， anger & forgiveness， apathy & diligence， perception management & authenticity， entitlement & gratitude， and more。 What I loved about the book was how intentionally accessible it was to all believers; it was deep and reflective but also so very practical and helpful。 The chapter This book is phenomenal if you’re looking to take the next step in your faith！ JP covers the ancient battles and modern wars that we face in our daily battles against our sin nature。 These topics include pride & humility， anger & forgiveness， apathy & diligence， perception management & authenticity， entitlement & gratitude， and more。 What I loved about the book was how intentionally accessible it was to all believers; it was deep and reflective but also so very practical and helpful。 The chapter on apathy really stood out to me， as JP presented simple truth that created great conversation and deep reflection for me personally。 “How do you fight apathy and complacency？ With an improved spiritual diet and exercise…what are you feasting on， and how are you exercising your faith？” The chapter was convicting and clear， right along with all the others， and has me rethinking many habits that are spiritually draining me and I didn’t even realize it。 This book is literally perfect for a small group。 It has discussion questions at the end of each chapter to get you started， but more importantly， is the perfect way to partner with your community to grow stronger together in Christ with authenticity and accountability。 I can’t wait to reread it with my small group！ 。。。more

Laden with scripture， “Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want to Do？” offers practical advice on how to renew your mind， replacing your vice with new habits that glorify God。 It’s not an “instruction manual，” but encourages you to zoom-out and look at the heart issue behind the vice。 Each chapter is convicting， humorous—but full of depth—and relatable。 The writing is down-to-earth and continuously points to the grace of Jesus Christ on the cross。

Why Do I Do What I Don't Want To Do covers ancient and modern vices or sin struggles we all face， plus the virtues to pick up in order to fight falling into that sin。 I love how honest JP is about his own story and how he elaborates on how you may see each vice play out in your life。 I didn't realize that I struggled with some of these， like anger， until he pointed out ways that they may show up。 Each vice is something that could sneak up on you and become a habit without realizing it， so it's a Why Do I Do What I Don't Want To Do covers ancient and modern vices or sin struggles we all face， plus the virtues to pick up in order to fight falling into that sin。 I love how honest JP is about his own story and how he elaborates on how you may see each vice play out in your life。 I didn't realize that I struggled with some of these， like anger， until he pointed out ways that they may show up。 Each vice is something that could sneak up on you and become a habit without realizing it， so it's a great book to use to recognize patterns and stop them before it becomes more destructive。 He also outlines， with Scripture， how to fight that vice。 The answer isn't pure determination or grit， but following the Lord and putting on the virtue to replace the vice。 This book will help the person who needs a deeper awareness of their sin patterns， or already knows how they struggle， and wants to change。 Life change is the goal of the book， so the lessons learned here won't just sit in your head or on your bookshelf when you've finished the book。 There is a lifetime of journeying with Jesus to follow reading this。 。。。more

I loved this book and I think it’s a great way for believers to live their life to the fullest as God has planned for them。 We often get stuck in limbo or the routine of life and get lazy。 This book is all about replacing bad habits with good habits and it talks about many topics a lot of people including myself don’t really think about。

I love the practical life lessons， biblical wisdom， and honesty in this book。 This book would benefit any Christian who wants to grow with the Lord！ It speaks to the destructive nature of sin and gives you biblical and practical ways to fight sin。 The discussion questions at the end of each chapter make this a great boon for a group study or one-on-one discipleship。

JP provides a great biblical and practical approach to addressing our life taking habits and replacing them with ones that will provide the true source of life and freedom we all desire。 He relates personally with his own testimony and extends hope and tools to the life-giving goals that Jesus has laid out for us。 He’s real and honest and this book is an absolute gift to anyone who would read it！

Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want To Do is a book that， if read with the right heart posture， will be a tool God uses in your life to help you search your heart and test your motives to see if there is any offensive way within you。For me Chapter 1 exposed a deep sense of pride in my own life。 As I was reading through those early pages I found myself saying “that’s me” over and over again as JP began to describe his own personal struggle with pride。In Chapter 5 JP covers everything you need to know o Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want To Do is a book that， if read with the right heart posture， will be a tool God uses in your life to help you search your heart and test your motives to see if there is any offensive way within you。For me Chapter 1 exposed a deep sense of pride in my own life。 As I was reading through those early pages I found myself saying “that’s me” over and over again as JP began to describe his own personal struggle with pride。In Chapter 5 JP covers everything you need to know on the topic of lust。 As I look back at my past， my greatest struggle with sin and shame revolved around lust & pornography。 I was addicted to porn for about 15 years and the practices in which I found lasting freedom are much of what he covers in this chapter: 1。 Confess at the thought level & be specific。 2。 Prioritize God’s word every morning。 3。 Restrict accessUltimately this book not only helps you see the offensive ways within you but also helps you find the way that is everlasting。 JP has tested the promises of scripture， both the blessings and the curses， and found them all to be true。 This is his attempt to help us all avoid those same pitfalls and to fall more in love with Jesus。 。。。more

As an AI language model， I cannot make a personal recommendation since I do not have opinions or beliefs。 However， I can summarize the book for you based on the information available online。 The book 'Why Do I Do What I Don't Want to Do？' by Dr。 Julie Duin explores the concept of vices and virtues and how they affect our daily lives。 The author uses personal stories and examples to illustrate how people can replace bad habits and destructive behaviors with positive and life-giving virtues。 The book also offers practical advice on how to cultivate virtues such as patience， self-control， and humility， and how to overcome temptations and negative patterns of behavior。 The book seems to be geared towards individuals who are struggling with addictive or compulsive behaviors and desire to make positive changes in their lives。 It may also interest readers who are interested in self-help or spiritual growth。
