Say the Right Thing: How Your Words Can Glorify God and Encourage Others

How the gospel can help you speak in a positive, constructive way.

Words are powerful. They sink deep into our minds and our spirits. They can build others up or put others down. Many of us want to “say the right thing” and make a difference to others with our words, but we don't know how to. Others of us struggle to control our speech and want help to be more godly in this area of our lives.

This positive, constructive book delves into the Bible to show us how to overcome specific temptations, such as gossip or angry words. But it also goes much further. It shows us how we can use our speech to bring beauty, hope, truth and comfort into the lives of those around us—and to give glory to God.

Full of gracious words and practical help, this book will help readers to find out how to let the gospel shape their speech and enjoy the blessings that flow from this.

"I found the chapter on beauty especially compelling, making it my favorite. In it, Lacey encouraged readers that because God is the source of beauty, there is always beauty to look for even in a fallen world. By using our words to point to God, we have a unique and precious opportunity to highlight His beauty.

Say the Right Thing strikes a helpful balance between conviction and encouragement for the reader. At 123 pages, it is a quick read and each chapter concludes with questions to consider making it useful for group or personal study. I greatly enjoyed this book and if you’re hoping to grow in using your speech to glorify God, I highly recommend it!"
