Bitterness: The Root that Pollutes (Lou Priolo)
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? Unfortunately, your decision to harbor bitterness is just as much of a sin as the one originally committed against you, and your reaction to others’ sin is a spiritual battle you are called on to win.
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.

Compassion: Seeing with Jesus’ Eyes (Joshua Mack)
Compassion is the emotion most frequently attributed to Jesus in the Gospels. But compassion is more than an emotion — it is a God-centered, God-inspired way of looking at the world. God commands us to love, so compassion is not an option!
“We should not try to serve people without a love for God. We must not try to serve God without a love for people,” writes Joshua Mack. Using Jesus and Paul as our examples, Mack shows why compassion is central to our profession of faith and gives practical starting points for treating others as God desires.

Discontentment: Why Am I So Unhappy (Lou Priolo)
Even among Christians, discontentment is a pervasive problem, and can be the root of the lingering unhappiness we often feel. Learn to identify discontentment in your own life, and cultivate true contentment God’s way.
“Discontentment among Christians is a far bigger problem than we either realize or acknowledge. Lou Priolo puts his discerning finger right on the real issues and helps us ask probing questions designed to reveal our troubled consciences’ covetousness and idolatry. He clearly shows that at the root of our lack of contentment lies a believer who isn’t fully satisfied with God and His bountiful provisions. May we take the message of this booklet to heart so that we may be genuinely content in Christ.”

Judgments: Rash or Righteous (Lou Priolo)
“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.
