A Woman's Words: Getting to the Heart of Our Speech

A Woman's Words: Getting to the Heart of Our Speech by Cole, Chrystie. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781794619418.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can win or wound me.” We all know the power of words. Words can hurt. Words can heal. And words are sticky—lingering long after they were spoken. Do you remember hurtful words hurled at you in middle school? Have you ever found yourself in the crosshairs of gossip or wounded by the sharp words of another? No doubt, weve all experienced regret over our own words uttered in moments of frustration. Youve probably also experienced the healing power of a friends encouragement during a dark time or the blessing of someone who is willing to tell you the truth in love. In A Woman’s Words, Chrystie Cole helps us understand why we struggle to speak words of life instead of death and how to overcome seven common idols that are often found at the root of our corrupted speech.
