DESCRIPTION:
Great Meditation on Importance of Words I really enjoyed this book, and would recommend it to anyone who loves language and words. It's a very challenging book insofar as it pushes one to consider the words they use and why the use them. There is a call to bring our speech back to the kind that gives life, but also be people who are slow to speak and quick to listen. Can't recommend it enough!.
