I can always count on Shannon’s writing to filter life through the lens of Scripture, and Kinda Judgy is no exception.

Though it’s rich with biblical stories and truth, it’s also wonderfully practical. This book offers a refreshing word and a much-needed gentle correction for our self-righteous hearts.

—Emily A. Jensen, coauthor of Risen Motherhood and Gospel Mom

Anyone who has struggled with a critical, judgmental spirit will find both conviction and kindness in Shannon’s book. Kinda Judgy speaks to a struggle most Christian women share: a tendency to analyze the sins of others while downplaying our own. But in these pages you’ll discover more than the reason we wrestle with judgment; you’ll learn how God’s mercy unravels the deep judgment we hold toward ourselves, often projected on those around us.

Our criticism of others has roots in our inability to accept God’s mercy on our own sin. Kinda Judgy will show you the way out of unbiblical judgment, to the righteous judgment we are called to choose.

Shannon Popkin writes with truthful precision, helping readers to see our tendency to judge others, and even have contempt for those with whom we disagree. She calls on stories from Scripture and everyday life to hold up a mirror that, I admit, I didn’t want to gaze into for too long.

I was convicted as I read. At the same time, Shannon rightly makes much of the lavish grace and mercy our Father in heaven eagerly gives to those who come to the end of ourselves. I was moved again and again by Jesus’s compassion for sinners like me. In our current cancel culture, this book is a needed exhortation, especially to Christians, to remind us that every single human deserves dignity and no one is too far gone. As we have received mercy, so may we eagerly pass it on.
