Controlling the Tongue: Mastering the What, When, and Why of the Words You Speak

by R.T. Kendall

Overview

The words we speak have power.
Often the consequences of our careless words are far reaching and eternal. At one time or another we all have experienced saying something in a moment that takes hours (or weeks or a lifetime) to make right.
 
In his engaging teaching style, Dr. R. T. Kendall helps you learn how to take control of the words you speak. He brings you straight to the Bible to identify characters who spoke without thinking as examples of how not to do things, demonstrating conclusively through their lives that, even when you fail, God will use you as He used them.,
