Is being judgmental
hurting your relationships?
Discover what more and more Christians are
discovering. Non-judgment is a basic teaching from
Jesus and His truth works in real and practical ways to love
and be loved.
Judgments ruin relationships,
especially
marriages. Nearly a million couples fall apart every year in the US and 72,000
more in Canada, both Christian and non-Christian alike. This is why:
Jesus said, "Do not judge
or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge
others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it
will be measured to you." (Mt 7:1).
When you feel
hurt by someone close to you, you hurt them back. It's a
vicious cycle. The
closer the relationship, the more likely this will happen. Your
wife. Your husband. Your parents. Your
brother. Your sister. Your child. Perhaps
you are feeling judgmental about God Himself because of hurts
in your life. Each judgment wounds the relationship until
one or both want to leave.
Judgments close
ears and harden hearts. Love suffocates
because issues don't get resolved and resentments and anger
brew instead.
The Non-Judgmental Christian
is a book will show you five Bible-based ways in which to end
the vicious cycle of hurts and hailstorms in your most
important relationships, replacing them with truth and
tolerance.
Author John Kuypers is a

events and workshops that teach practical ways to apply and be

READ THESE BOOK REVIEWS:
"Last week two of my church
members gave me your book "The Non-Judgmental Christian" and I
must confess I had a hard time putting it down. Your
ideas are so simple yet profound and life changing. I
appreciated your own vulnerability and willingness to show how
these lessons have worked in your own life."

am learning so much, and looking at my relationship (12
stormy years) with my husband in a whole different
light!
Christine Lupton, Burlington, Ontario.
"I
never realized that when I was judging, I was playing
God, and that is something that I must stop doing."
Wayne Allin, Ontario, Canada
"I was
touched – sometimes deeply – by your stories of yourself
and people like us breaking through in their
relationships. Thanks, and God bless."

A Wonderful
book for Growing in Grace
This book is about what it means to BE a Christian
(sanctification). Kuypers uses a lot of personal
anecdotes but the book transcends its original
self-help purpose. Kuypers starts out wanting to
help us improve our relationships, but what he
achieves, beyond that, is a transparent exploration
of his own journey toward a Christian self.
He admits to not achieving perfection, but through
the 5 Lessons he explores what it means to think
like Christ and how maturing as a child of Christ
means evolving a non-judgmental mindset that affects
every aspect of your life. This includes your
personal goal-setting and your interactions with
others.
It's impossible for the author to cover every aspect
of Christian life in one book (that's what the Bible
is for) and as a very personal text, he doesn't
fully explore the idea of vocation. Yet, this
overview of the Non-Judgmental Christian mindset
delves deeply into ways of thinking and interacting
that could positively change the way people
experience you.
For me, the best part of the book is the exploration
of the non-judgmental Jesus: how He was neither a
"hammer," a "doormat" nor a "rescuer" of people.
Kuypers explains that other people are what God
wants them to be (He is sovereign) and that we
aren't supposed to try to change others to suit our
idea of what they should be -- even with the best of
intentions.
I can't imagine a single Christian, especially
Christian men, who will not be affected by this
powerful book. Don't miss it. |
