Discuss Regarding Books Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate

I love Jerry Bridges books and am sad that there will be no more as the author died last year. This book highlights the sins that we tend to overlook, (things like pride, covetousness, gossip etc,) whilst judging those who, in our view, are guilty of much more serious wrong-doing. It's a challenge to each one of us and one of the author's best books. If you haven't yet read Trusting God then try this as well! [https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...]Highly recommended!

one of my most convicting books Ive read in a long time!

Never has a book humbled me so. I find myself crying out with Paul, Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? As Im called to work as if it all depends on me, and yet trust (in the Holy Spirit) as if I did not work at all, I pray, God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Called 'Respectable Sins', the aim of the book is to confront the sins that we as Christians all too readily tolerate. But before getting into the nitty-gritty of various 'respectable sins', Bridges spends no less than five whole chapters putting a gospel framework in place. His advice, "always address your sin in the context of the gospel." Nice. Then its down to business. Ungodliness, anxiety and frustration, discontentment, unthankfulness, pride, selfishness, anger are just a few of the sins

This is a great and convicting book, page after page i had to admit i was bang to rights. The real life examples he gives are helpful, and you are gently invited to take a look at how you match up to the standard of scripture, but there is no condemnation as the truth of the gospel is always there as a glorious reminder.

Bridges writes with clarity and simplicity, but he has a way to get to the heart of the matter that makes him an especially helpful friend in seeing your own sin. This book exposed several areas of growth in my life. Im thankful for men and women like Bridges who understand the gospel and can apply it to the nitty gritty details of our messy lives.
