Words Can Save

By Herbert I, Burns Jr.

Overview

I have long believed in the power of words. An ancient Hebrew Proverb says: "The tongue has the power of life and death." Relationships can be destroyed or transformed by the words that we speak. In this book you will read the words of ancient philosophers, and modern leaders. You will see how words have shaped the American culture in the past. You will also be reminded that the power of negative words can destroy marriage and family relationships and can create a negative cultural climate. I think you will be positively impacted by reading this book. It will lead you to evaluate your own use of words in the home, the office, and on-line. If your heart is open, you will also discover the power of the words of God and how they can enrich the lives of all who choose to listen. Gary Chapman, Ph.D. author of The 5 Love Languages

Description

Herb's most recent work, "Words Can Save", is without doubt my favorite from his collection. Personal communication is a lost art in our day. Herb demonstrates the various ways language and communication have had transformative power in influencing our lives and our country. Few and subtle words can have lasting impact. Words have inspired change, shaped history and civilizations. Herb effectively demonstrates this. I especially like the presidential quotes. In a very few words they allow us to forever look deep into the soul of our nation's leaders. Most importantly, with the mouth "confession is made unto salvation"! Words even secure the eternal destiny of our soul!! How important is that? God will extend His blessing on your remarkable labors. Fred Hege author of "Give em Jesus"
