<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p><i>Discover why words matter in a noisy world </i></p><p>Technology has made it easier than ever before to share just about everything: pictures, ideas, even the ups and downs of your morning errand run. Yet all our talking doesn't seem to be connecting us the way it promised to. That's because we don't need to talk more, we need to talk better. </p><p><i>Redeeming How We Talk</i> explores what the Bible has to say about that central aspect of life and relationships--conversation. The Scriptures show us that words have remarkable power--to create, to bless, to encourage, to forgive. Imagine how we, as Christians, could spark change in our families, churches, and communities if we learned to use words like Jesus did. By weaving together theology, history, and philosophy, Ken Wytsma and A. J. Swoboda help us reclaim the holiness of human speech and the relevance of meaningful conversation in our culture today.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><b>Tired of all the ranting?</b></p><p>These days it seems everyone has an opinion on everything whether anyone is listening or not. All our technological advances promise connection, but bullying, isolation, and discord are more prevalent than ever. Could it be that we've lost our ability to talk to each other?</p><p>Filled with insights from history, Scripture, and the authors' acute understanding of this cultural moment, <i>Redeeming How We Talk </i>is an invitation to stop and reflect on the words we encounter and produce every day. Ken Wytsma and A. J. Swoboda build a compelling case for the power of meaningful conversation. Learn: </p><ul><p><li>the nature, purpose, and practice of godly speech </li><p></p><p><li>what the digital age is doing to our words </li><p></p><p><li>the power of silence, listening, and hard conversations</li><p></p></ul><p>Talk is cheap. Make your words matter. </p></p></p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>KEN WYTSMA</b> is a leader, innovator, and social entrepreneur respected for his insight and collaborative spirit.
