Redeeming How We Talk
Ken Wytsma and A.J. Swoboda
Moody Publishers, 2018, 224 pages
Summary
Ken Wytsma (lead pastor at Village Church in Beaverton, OR) and A.J. Swoboda (author and pastor at Theophilus Church in Portland, OR) examine why “we have become a world of people all alone, together.” (Page 13) How do we learn to connect, converse wisely and lovingly, and build community again? They look at history, Scripture, and the current technological trends that reveal the importance of effective communication. Our words matter. They confirm it and give us a road map forward.
