Respectable Sins: The Truth About Anger, Jealousy, Worry, and Other Stuff We Accept

Are you a respectable sinner?

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? 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.

A powerful spiritual growth resource for youth groups, small groups, and personal discipleship, this book offers teens and tweens:

• An overview of how sin and the gospel connect so they have a strong grounding in theology
• Encouragement on letting the Holy Spirit transform their lives and behaviors
• Discussion questions at the end of each chapter

Jerry Bridges' landmark exploration of tolerated sin and God's remedy has been specifically adapted (not dumbed down!) for teens.
