The Power of Words...Speaking Life Into Our Children: Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue?

By Shawn M McBride

The age old nursery rhyme "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never harm me" is one of the biggest lies ever told to humanity. The truth is that words - whether written or spoken - do hurt! As a parent, you love your children deeply and would never intentionally harm them, but certain words spoken in the heat of the moment can cause catastrophic emotional damage that your child takes with them indefinitely. The positive and negative words you speak to your children cannot be taken back and either help build them up or tear them down.Power of Words by best-selling author and national youth speaker Shawn McBride teaches and illustrates in great detail the implications of the ancient proverb: Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Readers will discover the importance and necessity of speaking positive words of affirmation into the lives young people and will find the dangers and ramifications of speaking words of death.A native of Washington, DC Shawn McBride is a phenomenal and dynamic national youth speaker.
