My friend Yancey has written an accesible book for men of John Owen's treatise of sin. Men either want to deal with sin by tapping into white-knuckle disciplines (because it's manly) or by excusing sin altogether because all men deal with certain sins.

Tiger's transgression can teach us how to deal with sin: Don't delay confession, don't run from truth, and don’t hide in isolation.
Although I am a huge fan of golf, I have found no interest in the Tiger Woods story. I think Tiger’s game is at the top in his ability, focus, passion and tenacity. But as far as his character goes, Tiger was already near the bottom of my “admirable golfers” list. His hot temper, juvenile display of frustration over a bad shot and his entitlement attitude made him an athlete to watch but not admire.
Today, Tiger posted the following on his website
I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children. I want to say again to ...
