    <![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>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Excellent book.  Would recommend for family book study - Lent.  Confronting the sins we tolerate.  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 -- jealousy, anger, unthankfulness, pride, judgmentalism, and ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8879092">more...</a>]]></body>
