Respectable Sins Student Edition - by Jerry Bridges (Paperback)

About the Book

Jerry Bridges' prophetic take on "good Christian sin," specifically adapted for a teen audience.

Book Synopsis

Christians talk a lot about the "bad" sin of society. But are we guilty of overlooking the "okay" sin in our own lives, such as self-righteousness, anger, even anxiety? Jerry Bridges' landmark exploration of tolerated sin and God's remedy has been specifically adapted (not dumbed down!) for teens.

From the Back Cover

Christians talk a lot about sin, especially "bad stuff" such as doing drugs or stealing. But what about the sins that Christians tend to overlook or tolerate in their own lives--"respectable" sins like pride, anger, and anxiety?
Jesus died to set us free from sin, even the sneaky, respectable kind. But before that can happen, we have to get honest, which is what this book is all about. It's a chance to explore "good Christian sin" and what to do when you recognize it in your life.
