Brimstone: The Art and Act of Holy Nonjudgment

Why was Jesus both perfectly holy and remarkably free of harsh judgment, and why do so many of his followers struggle to match that example? This book takes up the question at a time when churches in the West are shrinking and younger people often find moral condemnation unconvincing. Its author argues that the church has too often leaned on poor judgment and too rarely practised the right kind. Instead, he calls readers to a holiness shaped by love, one that draws people toward faith rather than pushing them away. The result is a challenge to approach a sinful world with warmth and humility.
