Respectable Sins by Jerry Bridges
 |
Jerry Bridges returns to his trademark theme of holiness and addresses a dozen cluster of specific “acceptable” sins that we tend to tolerate in ourselves—such as jealousy, anger, pride, unthankfulness, and judmentalism. In his admonitions, Jerry offers a message of hope in the profound mercy of the Gospel and the transforming grace of God as the means to overcome subtle sins. |

Anointed, Transformed & Redeemed by Beth Moore, Pirscella Shirer & Kay Arthur

Taped at the 2007 Deeper Still event, three women explored their lives and the life of David. Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed: You’ll laugh with them, cry with them, and learn to love God with them. These authors' messages are divided into three segments, two lessons each. Each segment focuses on the life of David at a different stage of his life: as a young man (by Priscilla Shirer), as a middle-aged man (by Beth Moore), and as a man facing the final third of his life (by Kay Arthur).
