Respectable Sins

By: Jerry Bridges

Narrated by: John Haag

Length: 6 hrs and 22 mins

Publisher's summary

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. Throughout, Jerry encourages victory over personal sin through the gospel's transforming power. This release is perfect for listeners who long to thoughtfully examine their lives and discover a deeper walk with God.

Be prepared to have a transformed heart and life after listening to this

clearly and simply written

A foundational book for believers, especially those mature in faith

This book was so edifying to me. There were many times I had to stop reading just so that I could pray, and truly repent brought to true tears of repentance over my sin. I can’t recommend this book enough to all Christians no matter where they are in their walk, but especially to those who are mature and their walk, and in their knowledge and love for the Lord. I burned through almost a full highlighter reading this book, while listening, and many many tears, I think the Lord for this book and for the Holy Spirit work in my heart, as I read it words.

Excelente

Often these ‘respectable sins’ are easily dismissed. The author addresses areas where the self righteous person rarely visits or admits. I know for myself I was personally convicted and I am thankful that someone had the courage to address these areas because so many books are written on the ’big outward’ sins but too few on the ‘respectable ‘ sins. A must read for those of us desiring to please the Lord from the inside out.

Excellent!

Eye-opening to our views of “acceptable” sins. I highly recommend this book and author.

An amazing foundational overview of everyday sins we should all become aware of!

This book was excellent. An easy read that gets straight to the point, offering great words of wisdom to make us aware of our sins that we are often blinded by. We should be very aware of all of these sins regularly and this book does an awesome job at bringing them to light, as well as encouraging us to be action provoking rather than just thought provoking.

very good

let Christs light shine and invade every area of our lives. A great book that shines that light on the subtle deceptive, often overlooked, and accepted sin lurking in our lives. valuable book

A must read for followers of Christ

A great book. It was incredibly convicting. For a 6 hour book, it took me WEEKS to finish it because I had to stop it so many times. A great and humbling book for Christians to read and realize just how much we fall short of God’s Glory in our daily lives, and how much we need His Grace and Mercy.

Points to Christ like behavior

Jerry Bridges does an excellent job of helping the reader realize whether or not, they are living their life truly for Christ, or for self. This book is a must read at least four times a year for me. Thank you, Mr. Bridges.

Phenomenal - Bridges is the best!

Jerry Bridges was a true gift from God. Narrated by one of the best. I truly enjoyed this book.

Good Reminder

It was a sober reminder of just how sinful we are. Coming out of legalism it did feel a bit legalistic to me. I still finished it and got a lot out of it.
