COMMUNICATIONS MATTERS

A hallmark of spiritual maturity is our ability to get along with others. No greater way we demonstrate this ability than through our communication with others. Yet, our communication with family, co-workers and church family often falls short. We seek to be understood, rather than to understand. We speak before we think. We talk too much. Poor communication hinders our ability to grow and mature as individuals, causes breakdown in the family and diminishes our effectiveness in the workplace and in our churches. Ultimately, we fail to glorify God. Communication Matters is a 31-day devotional that applies scripture about communication to everyday life scenarios. Addressing issues of the mind, heart, speaking, listening, resolving conflict, and other issues each day includes a devotional writing, scriptural reference, a daily challenge/reflection and a prayer. Communication Matters is ideal for individual or group devotional time, empowers readers to develop a biblical understanding of communication, and provides tools to improve interpersonal communication skills._,
