Respectable Sins

About this book

Over 250,000 copies sold

Have we become so focused on "major" sins that we've grown apathetic about our subtle sins?

Renowned author Jerry Bridges takes you into a deep look at the corrosive patterns of behavior that we often accept as normal, in this established and impactful book.

Practical, thought-provoking, and relevant at any stage of life, Respectable Sins addresses a dozen clusters of specific "acceptable" sins that we tend to tolerate in ourselves, such as:
  • Jealousy
  • Anger
  • Judgementalism
  • Selfishness
  • Pride
Writing from the trenches of his own battles with sin, Bridges offers a message of hope in the transforming grace of God to overcome our "respectable sins." Now with an added study guide for personal use or group discussion so you can dive deeper into this staple of Jerry Bridges's classic collection.

"Read this book—we need to—and be ready for a gentle surgeon's sharp knife." —J. I. Packer, author and speaker
