Respectable Sins by Jerry Bridges

Bridges' book covers the sins that we commit that are commonly ignored or are sins of omission. The first he describes (ungodliness) is a summary of the balance of the book. Bridges describes ungodliness as the action of ignoring God most of the time. Going through the day without a thought for Him or concern for His sovereignty and involvement in our day is equivalent to ungodliness. Charnock called this "practical atheism."

The book identifies many sins that we may ignore or not even consider as sin. I read it as part of our small group Bible study and we found it a profitable exercise. I bought a copy and this was a keeper, along with the study guide.
