War of Words

Getting to the Heart of Your Communication Struggles

De: Paul David Tripp

Narrado por: Kyle Tait

"Talk" seems so normal, so ordinary, so harmless. Yet there are few things we do that are more important. And underneath the normality of it all is a great struggle, a war of words that we fight every day.

Who hasn't been hurt by the words of another? Who hasn't regretted something they said? Who hasn't had to referee an argument? Who hasn't wanted to talk seriously with a loved one, yet there seems to be no time?

Recognizing that words are powerful, Paul Tripp shows us how the gospel transforms the way we communicate. Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Word is the only hope for our words. In our war of words, he is the one who gives us the victory. Tripp directs us to a renewed reliance on our heavenly Father's abundant grace and a more Christ-honoring, people-benefiting life of talk.

Loved every challenging chapter. This is a great revelation of the study of hearts.

How our words are affected by the condition of our heart and consequently the effect our words have on others.

Perhaps, eliminating one to three later chapters that seemed repetitive. Overall a good book that spoke to my heart.

Heart changing

How you think is a reflection of your heart, sometimes I feel like I haven’t hanged very much as a Christian. After making some very costly decisions if has been very hard to feel there is any future left for me. How I think has got to change. This read has given me a path to follow. Thank you!

Convicting and practical

After an argument this book really stings to listen to. The salt and light of Biblical truth has a way of discovering exactly where cuts of sin are, intensifying the pain, and cleaning out the degenerate - creating humble ground for a posture of forgiveness and love-seeking reconciliation.
God is after my motivation for communication, not just the literal words I use. I can need to communicate something, say it in the “right way,” but if my heart is prideful, then God is mocked and hell cheers me on.
Thankful that God uses weak people for sanctifying work. Paul Tripp discusses many truths in such a way that I learned more than I bargained for about my sin nature, Gospel application, and my need for God.

A must read

A wonderful book explaining how to communicate the way God intends. Excellent book I would definitely recommend for all to listen to. I intend to listen to the book multiple times.

Excellent

Every Christian needs to read this book! It would be excellent for small groups and one on one!

Gut punch

A very good Biblical gut punch, but such wisdom that everyone needs to hear. If you want better relationships, it begins with you and in your heart. This book was very good to help with just that!

Practical, relevant and a loving rebuke to my soul.

I like how Pastor Paul lays out these truths using his own faults as example just like the Bible does, and gives practical questions and helps to grow in the grace and likeness of Christ!

Inspiring and convicting

Loved this book. Teaches God's way of communicating and addressing conflict. Very inspiring book.
