How to Say What You Mean

We often find ourselves in arguments we didn't intend to get into or we fail to get across our message to others. Sometimes we don't listen and miss what could have been a great conversation with someone. Often we believe that getting angry and spouting out our feelings will resolve an issue, but most of the time we wind up losing the war because the battle was more important. How to Say What You Mean: Without Being Mean aims at the Christian experience, relying on the Holy Spirit to bring us to a series of good relationships with God, ourselves and others around us. We need this in our homes, our places of work, where we interact socially with the community and in our churches. Often our emotions drive our conversations and our spiritual connection to God is forgotten, along with our desire to practice loving others as Christ loved us. Divorce, alienation and discouragement are inflicted on our families and, ultimately on our communities. Scripture says: "... You know everyone should listen much and speak little. He should be slow to become angry. (James 1:19 NLV) This book will help you to learn how to do it.
