About this ebook
We human beings are burdened by our tendencies to harshly judge others and ourselves. Unfortunately for believers, this bent is as prevalent in the church as in the world.
Pastor and author Gregory A. Boyd calls readers to a higher standard through understanding the true manner in which God views humanity: as infinitely worthwhile and lovable. Only an attitude shift in how we perceive ourselves in light of God's love can impact how we relate to people and transform our judgmental nature.
Believers wrestling with the reality of God's love and Christians struggling with judging in the local church will appreciate this examination of how we move from a self-centered to a Christ-centered life.

I love to learn about theology, philosophy and Christianity no matter what the topic. Greg has many other thoughtful and we'll written books, but this is the best book (outside of the Bible) and most important message anyone that considers themselves a Christian could ever read, in my opinion. The message in this book is enlightening and it captures the essence of what it means to be Christ-like. No matter what your theological background is this is a must read.

Will turn your theology upside down and right side up . It will challenge all your self righteousness and gives you a passionate desire to love like Christ rather than determining who deserves to be loved by us .
