Have Christians become so preoccupied with the major sins of our society that we have lost sight of our need to deal with our own more subtle sins? Jerry Bridges returns to his trademark theme of holiness and addresses a dozen clusters of specific “acceptable” sins that we tend to tolerate in ourselves—such as jealousy, anger, pride, unthankfulness, and judgmentalism.

Jerry writes not from a height of spiritual accomplishment but from the trenches of his own battles with sin. In his admonitions, Jerry offers a message of hope in the profound mercy of the gospel and the transforming grace of God as the means to overcoming our subtle sins.

If you lead a small group or Bible class, don’t miss the companion discussion guide for this important book.

Life Changing
Respectable Sins is not for the faint of heart. Read it only if you want to really change and move to the next level of spiritual maturity. You may not always agree with Jerry Bridges, but the point is made that we should all be called to confront the sins we tolerate in ourselves and not in others. This is an excellent book for group study. Problem with discussion guide is that it does not follow logically with the chapters in the text.

Heart Provoking
An eye-opening heart searching adventure which caused me to actually grasp Ezra's words of repentance for God's people: But for the grace of God go I! Must read it over again just because it's so simple and annointed that you seem to stay pondering on what was said longer than what is being read. A must read with the help of the Holy Spirit!!

Great Book
Jerry Bridges does a great job at pointing at the subtle sins that we tolerate in our lives. At the end of each chapter I was forced to come before the Lord with confession and repentance. As always, Bridges explains how the power of the gospel overcomes even our subtle sins. A great book, great encouragement, and very eye opening.
