Description: I suppose there are as many reasons for crying at weddings as there are criers, but for countless people it is the sorrowful knowledge that this wholly joyous occasion lasts but a moment. And while any couple can weather unexpected difficulties, it is much harder to recover from those skirmishes involving the heart. There are lots of books written on communication techniques, but few deal with the heart issues, and as the Bible teaches, it is out of the overflow of the heart that the mouth speaks. War of Words does deal with the heart issues of communication and in the process touches on so much more. Writing with a passionate desire for godly obedience, Paul Tripp communicates Biblical truth clearly and practically through his use of illustrations from his own family and his counseling ministry. If your family has relationship/communication struggles, we highly recommend reading War of Words together. The questions at the end of each chapter are practical and life changing. 

Chapter 1 - PDF

". . . an important and biblical book about our words and our God. Few of us really think about the power, the blessing, the gift, the effect, and the danger of our words. This book will make you think before you speak. Best of all, it will make you think of him before you speak. Read it. You'll be glad." STEVE BROWN

". . . filled with searching and realistic and honest illustrations . . . coupled with large doses of biblical truth. . . . you will be challenged, convicted, enlightened, and encouraged in this extremely important dimension of your relationship with God and with other people. . . . a volume to which you will turn again and again." WAYNE A. MACK

"Paul Tripp does not offer superficial solutions to our failures of communication. He recognizes that the spiritual quality of our words emanates from our hearts. This book is must reading for all of us." TREMPER LONGMAN III

"If your mouth is your downfall, don't pass over this book for fear of getting your knuckles rapped. Author Paul Tripp has blown it too! But he's learning how to change by God's grace, and he's sharing that grace with anyone who will listen." STEVE ESTES

"Until our hearts are completely purified by God in heaven, we must set strong guards at the gates of our mouths and fight daily battles to restrain the overflow of our sinful desires. I have never before read such helpful insights and practical tools for this battle. I enthusiastically recommend War of Words." KEN SANDE
