    <![CDATA[ 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.  <p>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.  <p>Acclaimed author Jerry Bridges believes that just as culture has lost the  concept of sin, the church faces the same danger. Jerry writes not from a  sense of achievement, but from the trenches of his own personal battles.  Drawing from scriptural truth, he sheds light on subtle behaviors that can  derail our spiritual growth.   <p>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.</p></p></p>]]>
