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.

      John Haag's rich vocal personality captures the author's thoughts on what he calls "respectable sins," which include gossip, anger, and pride. These deceptive sins are acceptable among conservative evangelicals, according to Bridges, even though the Bible is clear that all sin is sin. Haag narrates with conviction as the author explores the differences between the "big" sins evangelicals focus on, such as abortion, adultery, and murder, and lesser sins like gossip, anger, and envy, which they ignore. Haag changes pitch, pace, and tone as he describes how sins are so readily seen in others but not ourselves because we live in denial. Bridges reminds evangelical Christians "to be in your behavior what you are in your spirit," a view Haag renders in thoughtful detail. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
