$6.29$6.99
When people treat you wrongly, insult you, or are outright sinful to you, how do you react? Are you satisfied to hold grudges against those who wrong you, as long as they don’t lead to action?

Lou Priolo focuses on that battle in this vital booklet that seeks to weed out the problem of bitterness. By offering a biblical definition and identifying its outward signs, the author equips you to recognize bitterness in your own life, and he lays out a scriptural plan to ensure victory by repaying others’ evil with good. You will find grudges losing their grip as you focus instead on how to show love.

“The first time I heard Lou Priolo preach a sermon, it was on the topic of bitterness. His message was so biblical and I was intrigued that Scripture could be used in such a practical way. This booklet is much like that talk and is a gift from God to Christians who struggle with hurts from others. I highly recommend it!”

Judgments: Rash or Righteous (Lou Priolo)
$6.29“Judge not, lest you be judged” is perhaps the most frequently quoted verse of the Bible: even though people have no idea what it means. Most of those who quote it entirely miss the point. The Bible does not forbid making judgments. On the contrary, a wise Christians shows a growing and improving discernment that knows how to judge situations, and even people, according to God’s Word.
In this booklet, Lou Priolo tackles this difficult issue, making the distinction between rash and sinful judgments, and righteous, godly ones. You can learn how to “judge”, using sound standards from God’s Word, rather than your own.
Lou provides a survey of when it is and isn’t lawful for believers to make judgments. He also identifies eight different forms of rash judgments and then offers nine guidelines for replacing snap judgments with righteous judgments.
