This a great book for personal reading or small group. It discuss everything related to the use of our tongue from checking our motivation before saying things, on bragging, on complaining, on careless speech and gossip, on anger, on giving and receiving reproof, on gentleness, to the sacrifice of praise. Truly a helpful resource for an extrovert like me.

Every Christian should read this book. Even those "mature" who think they have a good foothold on living a Christian life. This book brings to the fore front those "little areas" we love to overlook. It is a great study to do with a partner. You could do it on your own, but some of the power is gained by sharing with another who will hold you accountable to those "Whoops, there I go again." areas of your life.

We used this book in our weekly women's Bible study group and everybody enjoyed it. We found the lessons particularly relevant to women in today's world. Also, Ms. Mayhall's writing is very clear and easy to understand.
