A Way With Words: What Women Should Know About the Power They Possess!
When we realize our tongues hold the power of life and death, we understand the importance of choosing our words wisely. Christin shares the stories of two women in the Bible - one whose careless words destroyed her entire family, and another whose godly counsel brought resolution to a deadly crisis - to illustrate how much our words really do matter.

The Three Wise Women
