- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An exploration of the use of language in life and relationships.The authors look at communication in light of Jesus as the Word made flesh and the life-giving power in the Word of God. They explore the corruption of language in propaganda. They look at how information has been communicated throughout time, and the challenges which come from communicating. They also spend much time discussing how to effectively use language in light of what Jesus has done for us by exploring Jesus' use of language, the relationship between language and wisdom, the value and importance of hearing, the need for unity among the Lord's people, speaking words of comfort, and communicating more effectively and empathetically.Highly recommended.**-galley received as part of early review program
