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.

Bought this book for a men's group Bible study at my church. It was personally challenging and led to lively discussion over sins we accept.

I loved this book. Respectable sins are the things that we would be willing to let others see in us: anger, complaining,critical spirit and judgementalism. This was a convicting book, but one that I would recommend to all of my friends! I would also challenge you to ask your true friends what sins they see in you that you do not see yourself. Sin tends to blind us to our own sinfulness, but others can usually see it pretty clearly.
