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.

This book is a wonderful eye opener for the grounded, mature Christian that needs a little pruning. It's refreshing to read insight aimed at inspiring us as believers to REALLY look at our hearts, even when that hurts, with the aim at being more Christ like. The author did a great job of pointing out some difficult issues tactfully. Well done!

This is one of the best books I have ever read. It addresses the sins we tend to overlook in our lives as Christians such as ungodliness, anxiety, frustration, discontent, unthankfulness, selfishness, lack of self-control, impatience, irritability, anger, judgmentalism, envy, jealousy, sins of the tongue, and worldliness.
What makes the book good is that they are easily explained in a Biblical manner and given life by practical illustrations of daily living. The material is also not presented ... Read More

Christians often link "sin" with the "really bad" stuff like murder, adultery, and theft. Avoid those things, and you're doing fine. But Bridges shows that sin is far deeper and more pervasive than we would like to admit. Most sins, for believers, are far more subtle - what Bridges calls "acceptable" or "respectable" sins. But these sins are also evil and offensive to God.
Why devote a whole book to the subject of sin? "The motivation for this book stems from a growing conviction that those of ... Read More
