About This Book
Words are powerful. They can heal or harm, building a person up or tearing them down. Learn how to make others feel special, mend broken dreams, and share the affirming message of the gospel through encouraging words.
We may never understand the profound impact words and actions have upon individualsâbut if the words we utter and the deeds we deliver in our daily transactions are "silver boxes" of encouragement, we can make those around us feel unique, special and empowered!
Silver Boxes is based on the scripture Ephesians 4: 29: "Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them." Seeking to use positive, not negative words in her own family, author Florence Littauer wanted to only use words that would build up her loved ones. As she did so, she watched her family transform.
This classic book includes:
- Humorous anecdotes and touching insights inspire readers to reach out with encouragement to anyone who is hurting
- Practical applications for Ephesians 4: 29 in your own life
- Personality tests and scoring sheets in the back of the book to help you understand your communication style, strengths, and weaknesses
This is a wonderful book that will remind you to always speak kindly, along with the effects of both positive and negative communication on you, your family and your community.
