Just Shut Your Mouth and Ask: "What would GOD want me to say?" (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781420883695)

Thoughtless words can wound as deeply as any sword, but wisely spoken words can heal. Proverbs 12:18 "It''s not what you say; it''s how you say it." The author incorporates her personal experiences with Biblical scriptures as she reaches out to the prudent Grandmothers who speak with evil tongues when offering "words of wisdom" about child rearing and "life''s lessons" to their loved ones. (You know who you are.) She suggests that they seek spiritual wisdom from Solomon''s Proverbs and Wise Sayings to redirect their evil tongues and avoid unnecessary family discord. Some readers have described Just Shut Your Mouth and Ask: "What would GOD want me to say?" as a "motivational, inspirational, self-help mini-journal" because of its explicit and succinct strategies: . Read Solomon''s Proverbs and Wise Sayings . Write your own Proverbs and interpretations . Document your observations, thoughts, feelings and spiritual wisdom on the"Keeping Pages" . Pray about what you should say . Infuse spiritual wisdom (a Proverb) and have a peaceful dialogue with yourfamily about the problems .

Be prepared to reflect and pray. Be prepared to redirect your evil tongue when you just shut your mouth and ask, "What would God want me to say?" If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God for it." James 1:5
