Speak Life: Restoring Healthy Communication in How You Think, Talk, and Pray

by Brady Boyd

Overview

Brady Boyd turns to Jesus’s example to demonstrate that the health of a conversation is only as vibrant as the health of one’s interactions with God. In Speak Life, Boyd explores:

• How to tune in to God in order to tune up your relationships
• How to differentiate between the Holy Spirit’s voice and the lies of the enemy
• How healthier self-talk leads to better communication with others
• How to bring healing to others through the words you speak

Proverbs says, “Reckless speech is like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing” (12:18, TLV). Speak Life helps readers speak words of restoration to God, themselves, and those they love.
