Christians are a people who value words because they realize words do more than just convey information. Some words mean everything: God spoke the world into being by the power of his words. He speaks through words he gave to the authors of the Bible. Jesus is The Word made flesh. This is a book about the power of words. Here you will find stories from 42 authors who share moments when words - from the Bible, the Holy Spirit, family, friends, acquaintances, business associates, and even strangers - impacted their lives. The stories are a testimony that words can hurt yet they can heal. You will laugh, cry, nod your head in agreement, and shake your head in wonder at their examples of how God uses aptly spoken words to shape our lives and remind us of the saving grace of Jesus.
