Guide Your Mind, Guard Your Heart, Grace Your Tongue, by Carol Burton McLeod

Christian women often live in a world of regret. The regret how they spent their time, their money, and even how much chocolate they have eaten. Most of all, they regret the hurtful words they spoke to those they care about most.

 

Every woman with a tender heart knows she has spoken words under the influence of distorted feelings and twisted thinking. Every woman wishes she had the power to take those words back. This book provides some worthwhile solutions.

 

Carol McLeod shows that even before words are spoken, they stir in the heart, and formed in the mind. Our thoughts and emotions shape the words that will come out of our mouths. Guide Your Mind, Guard Your Heart, Grace Your Tongue is a valuable guide for women to take control of their minds and feelings in order to grace their tongues. It's not filled with pat answers, but instead offers powerful strategies based on the Word of God to shift disordered thinking and revitalize rotten emotions so your words can humbly grateful instead of grumbly hateful.
