Wow! What a book! This is not the book to read if you are happily unaware of sins in your life....that is, unless you want to grow closer to God. The title, to some, might be misleading. This isn't a book that condones sin. On the contrary, as the subtitle says (paraphrase), it confronts those sins in our life that we tolerate or may not even consider to be sin. Some of the topics (sins) covered in this book are:
Anxiety and frustration
Unthankfulness
Pride
Selfishness
Anger
Lack of patience
Lack of self-control
A thoughtful reading of this book will leave you feeling so grateful for Jesus Christ as you see how far you are from God's standard. It also leaves you hope, as the author reminds you that you are forgiven and that through His help, we can have victory over our sins. Bridges also gives you Scripture to fill your mind to use as a weapon against daily temptations. Definitely worth the read!
Very neat that you are also a Christian! I have yet to read that book - my wife read if for a Ladie's Bible study at church. Thanks for the poke to read it too! :)
ReplyDeleteI think you are the only one to ever read this blog! It is so neglected! I have read so many great books that never make it onto the blog...
ReplyDeleteAlso thought I'd add that we (really my wife!) also homeschool our kids!
