30 DAYS TO TAMING YOUR TONGUE

References to God, the Supreme Commander, aside, this is a much needed lesson on how to rein in the harmful ways we speak to each other. The author lists 30 types of verbal transgressions and recommends that we eliminate one per day for 30 days. Half-truths, argumentative language, gossiping, slander, belittling, self-absorbed or doubting words, rude or cynical talk, and intimidation are just some of the verbal transgressions described. The biblical passages she uses are instructive in illustrating the common decency in her ideas. Kiersten Kingsley narrates the program with tact and clarity. Her depth will speak to a wide range of listeners, and she adds charm to this important lesson. T.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 07/ JAN 08]
