Customer Reviews

Using our gift of speech

Extremely encouraging, a great reminder that our words hold life and death. Once spoken, harsh words can never be retracted.

Help with words

If you are the type that just talk to be talking, this is a book that I would recommend that you read, It is and always will be a great help to me and a few of my friends.

Real eye opener

Casual conversations will never be the same again. The section explaining murmuring should be something that every single person should read. It is more than just a book about being mindful of what you say, it is more of a change in mind set and out look. Real eye opener and life changing.The world will be a better place if we are mindful of our speech.

I will never be the same after reading this book

The power of words is not something that is talked about much. I am an evangelical, Bible teaching pastor and I was trying to find a Bible study on this topic, but there just aren't any out there. This book fills the void with sound teaching from Scripture on topics such as: Lying, Gossip, Slander, Bragging, Exaggeration, Complaining, Using God's Name in Vain, Angry talk, and it provides biblical advice for keeping the tongue under control. It also has a nice study guide in the back, which I am adapting for use in my home Bible study. Strongly recommended reading that has changed the way I think about my speech.

DESERVES 10 STARS, NOT 5!

This book is VERY in-depth in exposing the various sinful conditions of our hearts and the sins they cause us to commit with our mouths. I thank God for this book and the author. I am amazed at how much insight the author has and I really believe every christian should read this (I really mean that!!). I am only in the 9th chapter (of 12) and I will never be the same! Just since I started reading it my sensitivity has been so heightened to what I say and I can sense a stronger presence of the Lord in my life because of it. I could go on and on but I don't have the space. My personal thanks to the author, Joseph M. Stowell, for being obedient to the Lord in blessing the body of Christ with this book!
