With Contributions by John Piper, Paul Tripp, Sinclair Ferguson, Mark Driscoll, Daniel Taylor, and Bob Kauflin
“A rich, biblical, Christ-centered, interesting, and immensely helpful perspective.” Randy Alcorn, author of Heaven and If God Is Good “Words kill and words give life; they’re either poison or fruit. The contributors to this volume understand this well, and they show, in both theologically deep and practically down-to-earth ways, how the church must be marked by redemptive speech.” Tullian Tchividjian, Pastor, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church; author, Unfashionable “Faith and practice are wonderfully integrated in this collection of godly wisdom.” Michael Horton, J. G. Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California “This collection of essays, consistently weighty in substance, makes good on the claims of the book’s title.” Leland Ryken, Professor of English, Wheaton College “This book is urgently needed.” R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
