“Recently I purchased three class sets and began offering writing prompts to my reading students from portions of Deborah’s 30 Days to Taming Your Tongue. Her guided lessons offer brief, no-nonsense approaches for examining our own words and ultimately lead to thinking more seriously about lifelong attitudes and behaviors reflected by spoken thoughts—and, more importantly, their long lasting ramifications. My students find Deborah’s approaches to ‘taming the tongue’ particularly appealing as they deal regularly with ‘the tongue beast.’ Through collaboration, role play and writing exercises, I have witnessed Deborah’s positive influence on America’s youth on a daily basis! What promise this brings to upcoming generations!”
