Redeeming How We Talk by Ken Wytsma and A.J. Swododa


Social media has an abundance of conversations, but are those conversations providing  meaningful dialogue between people?  Are we really listening to one another and connecting with one another? The authors of this book encourage readers to understand the power of meaningful conversations. They begin by exploring the world of words including the words we use to talk about God; deciding what words we will listen to; learning how to have hard conversations and seeing the image of God in all people even with those we disagreed with. These concepts along with others, help the reader to explore the way we use language to speak truth to others, challenge others and build up others.

Also covered in the book is the section on the words of God.  These words we can use as roadways to seek understanding and to love God and our neighbor in better ways. Our words are alive and are used to seek redemption and reconciliation.  What we says  matters  and this book is a valuable resource to aid us in speaking wisely.

I received this book from Moody Publishers in exchange for this honest review.
