Hi John,

Rev. Ron Horst here, of the parishes of Holy Trinity Anglican Church; and Emmanuel Anglican Church, Gibbons, Alberta, Canada.

I first found your book THE NON-JUDGMENTAL CHRISTIAN at a Promise Keeper’s Convention in one of the Greater Toronto municipalities in Ontario. I believe it was in the Fall of 2004.

It was on its own separate display table, and I perused it with great interest. There was a printed sign on the table top saying “This book will divorce-proof your marriage.” I saw that and puzzled “I am not worried about that.” As my wife thinks I spend too much money on books (Is that possible?) I turned and went back to my seat. On the way I got that queasy feeling I often get when I know I have missed the Lord’s will or opportunity. So at the next break I threaded my way through the 8,000 men all of whom seemed to be at the bookstore to get my copy. The rest is history. I could not tell you how many times I have gone back to review the book when I am tempted to try to control relationships or outcomes. I am sure you can imagine the amount of freedom I have found as the Lord has shown me His truth of the need to get the log out of my own eye. It is a standard part of any counseling I do.

Truly, THE NON JUDGMENTAL-CHRISTIAN has made my list of top ten life-changing books of my Christian life.

Blessings on you and your ministry.

I will look forward to meeting you and seeing you harvest more fruit for the Kingdom in our part of the territory.

Joyfully,

Ron Hӧrst,

Rector Holy Trinity Anglican Church

Dear John,

Last week, two of my church members gave me your book "The Non-Judgmental Christian" and I must confess I had a hard time putting it down. You ideas are so simple yet profound and life changing. I appreciated your own vulnerability and willingness to show how these lessons have worked in your own life.

Reverend Michael Versluis, Associate Pastor, Glad Tidings Tabernacle, Sudbury, Ontario

"Hello Mr. Kuypers,

I just want to let you know how much I’m enjoying your book. As soon as I had read the first page, I went right out that day to buy one! I want to thank you for your insights and for sharing your personal experiences.

I am learning so much, and looking at my relationship (12 stormy years) with my husband in a whole different light! I have to purposely make myself read only a portion at a time – it would be so easy to devour this book—so that I can really absorb the information and pray about how it relates to me, and how God wants me to use it.

I’m so fired up about this book that I praise it to each person I speak with! Thank you again and may God provide many more opportunities for this book to reach others as it has reached me!" Sincerely, Christine Lupton, Burlington, Ontario, Canada

"I woke up at 3am and couldn’t get back to sleep so made my way down to the study and my eye’s fell on your book “The Non-Judgmental Christian”! Of course I picked it up and started reading. I could so identify with what you were writing about and in parts I was howling so loud with laughter I thought I’d wake my husband up from his “snoring” state! You have blessed us by writing this book and one which we will definitely recommend to other couples!" Lyn Hopkins, St. Thomas, Ontario

It has given me a new hope that through the love of God, I can come to peace with who I am, and find love inside me to give to others." Stuart Lemesurier, father, husband, lawyer, Toronto, Canada

Dear John,

Thank you. Many, many times, thank you. Your book 'The Non-judgmental Christian' changed the way I saw myself, exposed judgments and resentments that I had no idea I was carrying, and revolutionized my situation.

I've been a believer for 23 years, worked as a short-term missionary in South Africa, been a counselor at my church and a youth pastor - and in all these years I have not been nearly as impacted by anything else I've read (Bible excluded!).

I live in Nova Scotia, and am driving to Halifax tomorrow to buy my 4th copy of your book for a friend of my son's who told him today she is filing for divorce. I'm convinced that if she'll read even just the first chapter, she'll re-think that decision. The other copies are winging their way to South Africa and Italy, or being devoured by family and friends.

I believe this book to be an incredibly powerful tool of the Lord's, and I thank you and honour you for having the courage to follow His voice and write it. Bless you and thank you, thank you, thank you."
Sherri McGregor. Nova Scotia, Canada

Mike Martin of Markham, Ontario writes, " Some of the more meaningful quotes from your book for me are:
'Non-judgment opens ears and softens hearts.'
'Your private self must become the same as your public self.'
'You must want your wife, not need her.'
'Your ability to give compassion to others will be governed by your ability to give yourself support while you are suffering.'
Overall, your book differs from many I have read of its genre in the level of personal versus general revelation, which lends a very authentic tone to your teachings."

"I was at the Man Alive Conference in Toronto and purchased your book. Once I started reading it I could not put it down. It's like you were talking about my life. You have made me aware of how judgmental I am and how much work I have to do in this area. This is the 2nd marriage for my wife and I so it was important for both of us to read your book. I never realized that when I was judging, I was playing God, and that is something that I must stop doing."

God Bless,

Wayne Allin

"My husband and I have just finished reading The Non-Judgmental Christian and were amazed at how it enlightened us as to the root of some of the problems we were having. It has given us a lot to discuss."

Thank you,

Wendy Allin

"After reading your book, John, I did some things differently at home in my relationship right away - and out in the world too. I also shared your images of “Hammer and Doormat” with some of my coaching clients, and found that they work for other people too. What’s more, I was touched – sometimes deeply – by your stories of yourself and people like us breaking through in their relationships. Thanks, and God bless."
Jean Davies, Centerpoint Coaching, Oakville, Ontario
