Product Description

As Christians, we believe that all sins are considered equal in God's eyes. Yet while evangelicals continue to decry the Big Ones--such as abortion, adultery, and violence--we often overlook more deceptive sins.

It seems we have created a sliding scale where gossip, jealousy, and selfishness comfortably exist within the church. In short, some sins have simply become acceptable.

Acclaimed author Jerry Bridges believes that just as culture has lost the concept of sin, the church faces the same danger. Jerry writes not from a sense of achievement, but from the trenches of his own personal battles. Drawing from scriptural truth, he sheds light on subtle behaviors that can derail our spiritual growth.

Throughout, Jerry encourages victory over personal sin through the gospel's transforming power. This release is perfect for readers who long to thoughtfully examine their lives and discover a deeper walk with God.

A Biblical and helpful examination of sins we easily ignore
Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate

Jerry Bridges has written a helpful and Biblical examination of some of more commonly overlooked sins. The author calls Christians to repentance in areas of their lives that they often overlook or ignore. Though the chapters are brief, they are well written and Biblically-grounded. Bridges challenges his readers to pursue Christ-like behavior in a similar fashion to his book "The Pursuit of Holiness." To the extent that readers apply what they read, the book will prove to be benefical in helping them grow spiritually to become more like their Savior, Jesus Christ.

Respectable Sins
I highly recommend this book. As a matter of fact, I ordered two more for my friends. Strong conviction in a world that is passing away.

Excellent
Great book- definitely convicting! Going through it with a small group Bible study. It provides alot to chew on and good topics for deeper discussion and accountability. Also have gotten positive feedback from all the other women in my group. Bridges doesn't sugarcoat anything but forces us to take a look at how disgusting every sin is, even the "small" ones, in the sight of a holy God.
