As someone who struggles with patience and using kind words (especially to myself) this book was so eyeopening about the power of words and speaking life into others. I love how she used Biblical teaching to empower kind words and thoughts. Words can bring you down but they can also be life changing and rise you up. I feel like I was having a conversation with a friend. Thank you so much NetGalley for the copy of Well Said in exchange for my honest review.

This book is such an encouragement and challenge to me.
Sarah Molitor has a way of writing that makes you feel as though you're having a face-to-face conversation with her. I really appreciate the way she opened herself up and shared her experiences so that readers can learn what she learned.
Speaking well is something that I definitely need to learn, and I am grateful for a chance to read this book.

Why does is it so easy to unlease our tongues and let words fly? Why is it so hard to control such a minute part of the body? And why does words cut so close to the heart?

Author Sarah Molitor takes her readers on a journey of choosing words to speak life and strengthen relationships, all for the glory of God. In a society where it's easier to tear down than build up, Molitor seeks to find grace for her family and friends, and call out the best in others. Well Said endeavors to bring the heart of Jesus into our every day conversations. Some of the other topics covered include using life giving words in social media and seeking forgiveness to move toward reconciliation.

I actually love the message of this book. Using our words to reflect Jesus' heart is crucial in today's society. Molitor has an easy conversational tone in her book, and shares personal stories and illustrations to keep her message relatable. I did feel like her messages was encouraging and inspiring. However, I also think there are better books on this topic. So it wasn't perfect, but it wasn't bad either. A good place to start if you need encouragement in using your words well.

I sadly did not enjoy this. It felt like I was on the receiving end of a condescending scold. The premise was good and I was really very interested in it, but the delivery was subpar.

Unfortunately, I just felt like this was not a book for me. I wanted to love it, I really did. I was looking for it to be uplifting while guiding me toward better choices. I truly felt a bit like I was being scolded instead of led and positively influenced to the path of Jesus.

I'm so sorry.
