The bedrock of any relationship is communication, yet the ability to communicate isn't intrinsic to our nature. We must learn to do it. This book examines the many communication skills which can be used to build and strengthen your relationships. Developed from biblical principles and extensively tested, Fitly Spoken will give you the tools you need to become an effective and dynamic communicator. Have you ever said something you didn't mean? Have you ever struggled to express your feelings? Have you ever said something you later regretted? Have you ever acted on a misunderstanding and been burned because of it? Do you find yourself arguing endlessly--even over the silliest things? Have you tried to sincerely correct someone only to have them become offended? Do you struggle making friends or feel you are socially awkward? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this book is for you! Written for Christians, Fitly Spoken is your guide to everything the Bible teaches about developing strong communication and social skills. God told us that life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Therefore, understanding and implementing the spiritual aspects of communication and social skills are vital for every Believer. Life is relationships, and communication is how we explore the depth and breadth of each relationship. This book will give you the tools to effectively communicate with everyone in your life.
