"In this day and age we need a map to navigate the rocky terrain that separates sound judgment from judgmentalism. Terry Cooper is a resourceful and experienced guide, offering us the tools we need by exploring themes of self-confidence, humility, assertiveness and conviction."

"This book is brimming with practical wisdom on a topic relevant to everyone--making judgments about others. With precision and clarity Terry Cooper guides readers through a range of crucial issues that affect all of our relationships. Cooper blends extensive research with Christian principles in a remarkably helpful fashion."

"Listen for a moment: our increasingly pluralistic world is increasingly nasty. Public discourse is contentious, and people of conviction imagine only belligerence will keep their viewpoint from being missed. Sadly, Christians are not exempt. In fact, many non-Christians assume Christianity's irrelevance because no religion worth serious consideration would produce such reactionary, judgmental people. Terry Cooper has it exactly right in Making Judgments Without Being Judgmental: it is possible to disagree without being disagreeable. His thoughtful, clear analysis is bracing and helpful for anyone wanting to respond winsomely instead of merely reacting."

The book is not just for counseling--it also is good for self-reflection. Making Judgments Without Being Judgmental is a guide to better relationships.
