Kinda Judgy - by Shannon Popkin (Paperback)

About the Book

The world's main criticism of Christians: Too judgy.

Judgement. We feel it. Husbands feel judged by their wives. Parents are judged by their kids. Moms judge other moms. And maybe you're worried that you're the "judgy" one. Whether you're conflicted over your son's lifestyle, your daughter's messy room, or social media outrage, you're not alone.

At the same time, we live in a "Who am I to judge?" culture. And since the Bible both supports and warns against judgment . . . to judge or not to judge, that's one touchy question.

With warmth and wisdom, Shannon invites us to step inside six stories: Noah, Rahab, Jonah, Simon the Pharisee, the Blind Man, and the cross. We'll find biblical clarity on judgment and mercy and be moved by what matters to God. If you're exhausted by conflict and judgment, you can trade condemnation for compassion and encounter God's lavish mercy.

Book Synopsis

The world's main criticism of Christians: Too judgy.

Judgement. We feel it. Outside and inside the church. Husbands feel judged by their wives. Parents are judged by their kids. Ministry leaders are scrutinized by their people. Moms judge other moms. And maybe you're worried that you're the "judgy" one. Whether you're conflicted over your son's lifestyle, your daughter's messy room, or social media outrage, you're not alone.

At the same time, we live in a "Who am I to judge?" culture. And since the Bible both supports and warns against judgment . . . to judge or not to judge, that is one touchy question.

With warmth and wisdom Shannon Popkin guides us through six stories: Noah, Rahab, Jonah, Simon the Pharisee, the Blind Man, and the cross. As you step inside each story, you'll find biblical clarity on judgment and mercy and be moved by what matters to God. Judgy Girl shows how a critical spirit leads to strained relationships, self-loathing, and shame. Using personal examples, real-life illustrations, and heart-probing questions, Shannon gently challenges and inspires us to think, live, and respond as daughters of the merciful Judge.

If you're exhausted by conflict, judgment, and shame, Shannon invites you to lay down your gavel and trade your condemnation for compassion. Encounter the One who settles your heart and melts your pride with His lavish mercy for you and others.
