30 Days to Taming Your Tongue: What You Say (and Don't Say) Will Improve Your Relationships

by Deborah Smith Pegues

Overview

Who hasn't struggled at times with foot-in-mouth disease? Certified behavioral consultant Deborah Pegues knows how easily a slip of the tongue can cause problems in personal and in business relationships. That is why she has put together a 30-day devotional to help readers tame that unruly member and turn it into an asset.

Readers will learn to

• stop saying the wrong thing at the wrong time in the wrong way
• learn to use words that build others up
• avoid the pitfalls and consequences of lies, flattery, and exaggerations

Short stories, anecdotes, soul-searching questions, and scripturally based personal affirmations combine to make each chapter tongue-and-life-changing.

"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!"
—Rubye Browne Melton
