Respectable Sins
by Jerry Bridges · 288 pages · English
Jerry Bridges confronts the 'acceptable' sins Christians often tolerate — pride, envy, gossip, impatience — calling believers to genuine holiness in the less visible areas of life.
Jerry Bridges observes that many Christians, having left behind "scandalous" sins, settle comfortably into others the church rarely confronts: pride, impatience, unforgiveness, gossip, envy. This book names those sins one by one.
Avoiding both legalism and indulgence, Bridges calls for a holiness that leaves no area of life unexamined, reminding readers that the grace that saves is the same grace that transforms.
