Words kill, words give life; they are either poison or fruit - you choose. (Proverbs 18:21 MSG)

In this book, discover seven principles that allow you to harness the power of your words. Help people, bring hope, and influence all of your relationships to be healthier than you can imagine.

You will learn that words truly are the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help and to heal, or to hinder, hurt, harm and humiliate. You can change the course of your life and someone else’s life with your words. Considering the powerful force of what we say, we have come face-to-face with the responsibility of needing to discipline ourselves to speak in a way that conveys respect, gentleness and humility. One of the clearest signs of a mature person is their ability to use uplifting words that are helpful to all listeners. As Christians, we are called to be kind to all and speak words that offer inspiration, enthusiasm and encouragement. We should never waste our words on trivial matters like coarse joking or gossiping about others; instead, we should choose helpful, healing words that light up this dark world.

You will also learn certain principles that should guide all of our communication with others.

If we use our words as bullets with a feeling of superiority and condemnation, we are not going to be able to restore a relationship to love. However, if we use our words as seeds with a feeling of supportiveness and sincere good will, we can rebuild a relationship in positive and life-affirming ways.
