Stopping Words That Hurt by Dr. Michael Sedler is a pretty
decent book. At first glance, I was a little intimidated by the “Dr.” title.
However, Dr. Sedler does a good job of keeping the topic from being too heady
for the average reader.
A lot (if not all) of what Sedler discusses has been dealt
with in other books. The book Sedler offers a lot of personal stories, Bible
verses and discussion questions that provide the reader a pleasant reading
experience. The use of questions throughout and at the end of each chapter make
this a good book to read in a small group or book club.
Sedler spends a good amount of time dealing with the
negative aspects of gossip, both from listening to it and engaging in it. This
is a timely lesson that has a lot of practical consequences and application for
our lives, especially with the influx of social media. This is a good addition
to the discussion of gossip with its application, anecdotal stories, and
discussion questions.
This book was provided free of charge by Chosen Books in
exchange for an honest review.
