Kind, encouraging, and humorous, Karen Ehman helps us learn the
essential practice of using our words more effectively--alleviating
heartache and regret, reducing relational tension and conflict,
lessening our stress levels, and growing our relationship with God.
From Bible times to modern times women have struggled with their words.
What to say and how to say it. What not to say. When it is best to
remain silent. And what to do when you've said something you wish you
could now take back. In this book a woman whose mouth has gotten her
into loads of trouble shares the hows (and how-not-tos) of dealing with
the tongue.
Beyond just a "how not to gossip" book, this book explores what the
Bible says about the many ways we are to use our words and the times
when we are to remain silent. Karen will cover using our speech to
interact with friends, co-workers, family, and strangers as well as in
the many places we use our words in private, in public, online, and in
prayer. Even the words we say silently to ourselves. She will address
unsolicited opinion-slinging, speaking the truth in love, not saying
words just to people-please, and dealing with our verbal anger.
Christian women struggle with their mouths. Even though we know that
Scripture has much to say about how we are--and are not--to use our
words, this is still an immense issue, causing heartache and strain not
only in family relationships, but also in friendships, work, and church
settings.
