About the Author
The Revd Fraser Dyer is an Anglican priest in an inner-city parish in south London. Prior to ordination, he worked in the voluntary sector, leading volunteer programmes for Traidcraft and Greenpeace UK, before spending twenty years as a consultant and trainer. He is the author of Why do I do this every day? Finding meaning in your work (Lion Hudson, 2005).
Reviews
Dryer admits that for many years, his own judgements have been anything but gentle against the Church and the behaviour and beliefs of fellow Christians. How did we get to this state where judgementalism is so common? How do we avoid it? Dryer approaches these questions by first analysing why we feel we must judge others. He then goes on to examine Jesus' teaching and concludes by saying we need discernment and an informed and generous attitude, rather than hasty judgements. The book is well structured and logical in its approach, and while Dyer is dealing with a complex topic, his writing is not academic or dry. Thanks to Dyer's approachable and frequently humorous style, this book could be read by an older teenager or adult, providing they are willing to have their presuppositions and prejudices challenged. It could also be used profitably as a study book for a home group. * Premier Christianity *
