I suppose there are as many reasons for crying at weddings as there are criers, but for countless people it is the sorrowful knowledge that this wholly joyous occasion lasts but a moment. And while any couple can weather unexpected difficulties, it is much harder to recover from those skirmishes involving the heart. There are lots of books written on communication techniques, but few deal with the heart issues, and as the Bible teaches, it is out of the overflow of the heart that the mouth speaks. War of Words does deal with the heart issues of communication and in the process touches on so much more. Writing with a passionate desire for godly obedience, Paul Tripp communicates Biblical truth clearly and practically through his use of illustrations from his own family and his counseling ministry. If your family has relationship/communication struggles, we highly recommend reading War of Words together. The questions at the end of each chapter are practical and life changing. Highly recommended, this book is among a handful that has permanently impacted our lives.

Getting to the heart of your communication struggles. "A biblical book about our words and our God. Few of us really think about the power, the blessing, the gift, the effect, and the dangers of our words." "Filled with searching, realistic & honest illustrations coupled with large doses of biblical truth."
