5.0 out of 5 stars Shedding light on making judgments, November 6, 2006

By	Ann Marie Wyrsch (St. Charles, MO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Dr. Cooper explores the topic of making judgments from a theoretical and practical stance. The book contains insightful quotations related to the topic, as well as relevant theological information and the author's personal experience. It is presented in a format that is easily readable and includes practical implications for application to daily life. Examples help the reader get insights into their own use of judgments.

I would recommend this book to everyone to raise consciousness of the insidious pervasiveness of judgmentalism in ones self and others. Awareness of the impact of making judgments and the damage it has done to quality of life is widely neglected. Those who consider themselves to be the most non-judgmental are often unintentionally unaware of how insidious this habit is.

As Dr. Cooper says in his conclusion, "Eliminating all of our judgmentalism is a nice thought but not a likely reality." If what is shared in this book were widely practiced by individuals and groups, peace would ensue for both.
