Editorial Reviews:

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.

Summary: Meant to convict!
Comment: I cannot highly recommend this book. It's one of those that makes the reader opens his eyes and sees how acceptable some of these sins have become to us, yet remain despised by God. All of them deal with the heart in one way or another.

Bridges makes it easy to understand. He zeros in on the Gospel at the very beginning, then follows up on each sin; he gets to the point concerning why this sin is still offensive to God and how to combat and confront that sin, using Scripture to get his point across.

It is an easy read because it's meant for laypersons to pull the log out of their own eye before reaching for someone else's speck (See Matthew 7:3-4 for details.).

Summary: Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate
Comment: J. Bridges is an excellent writer who knows how to present his subject clearly and concisely. For those interested in a walk with God, that has vitality and growth, it zeros in on the sins that hinder this walk.

Concentrating on the sins of society and the sins in others is so easy. Being willing to examine our own lives in the light of scripture is far more challenging and convicting but so needful. Excellent!

Summary: Wonderful Book
Comment: Much of what Jerry Bridges has written in "Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate" is taken from his earlier book "Discipline of Grace." Both are excellent and should be read by everyone.

Comment: Heart searching, convicting and brilliant! A great book for seeing yourself biblically and helping others to change too. Prepare to be challenged!

Summary: Respectable Sins
Comment: I am enjoying this book. It's not a hard read, and it hits home about some of the sins we tend to ignore because we're somehow focused on the "big sins". I think it's one I will read again and again to keep myself focused. This is a little on the line of "take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves"--don't let the little sins pile up until they become monsters in your life.
