Respectable Sins Curriculum edition

Have we become so preoccupied with the major sins of our society that we have lost sight of our need to deal with our own more subtle sins? Jerry Bridges returns to his trademark theme of holiness and addresses a dozen clusters of specific "acceptable" sins that we tend to tolerate in ourselves and others, such as jealousy, anger, pride, unthankfulness, and judgmentalism.

Bridges writes not from a height of spiritual accomplishment but from the trenches of his own battles with sin. In his admonitions, he offers a message of hope in the profound mercy of the gospel and the transforming grace of God as the means to overcoming our subtle sins.

This all-in-one curriculum set includes Respectable Sin in its entirety as well as a study. There are wide margins for taking notes, and at the end of each session, you'll find discussion questions that will help you overcome your struggles with those "tolerable" sins. This nine-week curriculum can be done on your own or in a small group
