You've heard, 'Think before you speak' a hundred times, and probably shrugged it off just like that other insightful phrase, 'Your face will freeze like that if you're not careful.' But unlike a facial expression, our words do stick around. (Just think about middle school a sec. See?) Which means everything you say---from what tell your friends, whisper about your enemies, post online, mutter to yourself, or even say to the celebrity you ran into at the coffee shop---carries a whole lot of power. The question is, are you ready to use that power to make a real difference? Because the truth is, you could be part of the first generation who uses their words to build up and not tear down, and even kill the mean girl mentality. Through very funny stories, Scripture, and a real understanding of the good, bad, and ugly ways we can use our words, Annie Downs explores the difference you can make when you speak love to others, to God, and even to yourself. Because when you speak love, you speak life. And that's what matters.

I know God is loving; I know He is good; I believe He is big and powerful. But sometimes I wonder if He is really kind -- really deeply always kind. Is He? Christians love to talk about how God is in control, but that's harder to grasp when things aren't going like you thought they would, when your life looks quite different than you imagined. For centuries, God's people have been building altars to Him -- to remind themselves and the people around them of His work. His goodness. His kindness. Stacks of stones. Altars. Temples. Cathedrals. Why? Because they believed God and wanted to remember Him. In the back of my mind, God reminds me that He is the same trustworthy God -- the One who always finishes the stories he starts. And this is my story -- of wrestling with our God who gives a limp and a blessing. A God who is always kind even when my circumstances feel the opposite. God is who He says He is. He is kinder than you imagine. In a world where it is easy to forget who He is, we will not. We will remember God.
