Choosing Words That Heal

By: Adam Houge

Narrated by: Michale Griffith

The words we use can have a tremendous impact on a person's life. With them we can build up a heart or with them we can break one. Words can bless and words can crush, but if they're not founded in love they'll always be harmful in one way or another.

Love has always been expressed first through the lips. Before every romantic relationship begins, words of love come first. We communicate our hearts through our mouths, and whatever is bubbling over from our hearts spills forth from the mouth.

Like a kiss on the ear a beautiful word can truly bless a soul. But a bitter word can crush a spirit. The words we use can hurt, and are often taken seriously by the one we're speaking to. We ought not to be caught saying things we don't actually mean, but expressing sincerity with the heart of Christ.

Knowing this, we ought to devote ourselves to having holy, edifying, and loving tongues. For if the Gospel of Jesus comes from our mouths, then what are hurtful words doing there as well? One should be careful to abstain from negative talk, whether toward others or of ourselves. Consider devoting yourself to have lips full of love as you choose words that heal.

Will listen regularly

This book is like a shot in the arm, it's healing and therapeutic. I'll listen regularly to this book, my heart needs to be refreshed.

Excellent! An answer for our world

I truly enjoyed how the author brought together truth with its instruction from the Word and its application. He addresses the input/output relationship with our tongues and encourages words as they edify. There is a chapter for families and communication as well as all others.

I truly believe our world would be changed positively if everyone read and put to practice this book.

Well done, Mr. Houge! I definitely recommend this book as a read and reread for everyone. I will be rereading as a reminder to keep myself and what leaves my mouth in check. Truly, it should be nothing that does not come from a place of love.
