Synopsis

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 readers who long to thoughtfully examine their lives and discover a deeper walk with God.

100% would recommend. Bridges highlights the importance of recognising the subtle sins that are too often tolerated and of addressing them especially in the context of the gospel. Very convicting, and his writing style is easy to read which is a bonus.......more

Goodreads review by Owen on January 30, 2022

An excellent book - and what an open, insightful look into the heart with its’ subtle sinfulness. I found it convicting, simple to read, and often painful in a sanctifying way. The emphasis on the gospel is beautifully presented throughout the book. This will definitely be a re-read!......more
