Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“We tend to think that complaining isn't a particularly serious sin. After all, everyone does it! We complain about the weather, our sports teams, and how long we have to wait in line at the grocery store. But Martin shows us that complaining is a deadly serious sin, and he points to the biblical path for change. Don't let complaining conquer you. Read this book!”
Stephen Altrogge

“I am a complainer. I think my mother told me to 'quit complaining' as often as she corrected me about anything. I am adept at finding the downside in things. So reading Ronnie's book was a bit like jumping into a frigid lake. It knocked the wind out of me, was uncomfortable, and then was deeply refreshing. I needed to read about the heart behind my complaining and take a look at why I enjoy being negative so much. Martin reveals truth and digs into the reader without preaching or nagging or condescending. Instead he shares stories, his own and others. He asks questions and invites us to do the same. Stop Your Complaining is a book that would benefit anyone but the most ardent optimist.”

“My friend Ronnie Martin has written a convicting, challenging book that deserves wide reading in a world of plenty of complaining. He writes as a pastor who hears a lot of grumbling, but he does not ignore this problem in his own life or even among fellow pastors. You might not initially think you should pick up a book about grumbling. You might have a friend or family member in mind who needs it more (good luck handing the book out as a birthday or Christmas gift). But I suspect you need the book more than you realize. I know I did.”
