War of Words: Getting to the Heart of Your Communication Struggles              
  By: Paul David Tripp

                         Summary: Words are used at every moment of everyday.  Humans ability to communicate using words distinguish us from any other creature on this planet.  Words are, arguably, the most powerful tools for warfare we have.  Think about your day: were you hurt by someone because of what they said or didn’t say?  Did you hurt someone?  Were you involved in a argument or fight where all that was thrown were hurling, bitter, argry words? Words are powerful and they can change another person instantly: they can make someone who was sad – happy.  One who was happy – angry.  They hurt, encourage, curse, praise, be used sweetly or be full of bitterness.  Because words serve as a communication tool – wouldn’t it be nice to figure out to communicate in an effective way for the Lord?  A way that is honoring to Him?  A way the repairs situations instead of waring them appart?  That is what Paul David Tripp addresses in this book “Communication problems reveal a much deeper and fundamental level” – our heart!
