Title – War of Words: Getting to the Heart of Your Communication Struggles

Author – Paul David Tripp

Publisher – Phillipsburg: P & R Publishing, 2000

There are four things that I would like to say about Paul David Tripp.

1. He writes alongside of you and not above you.  He shares with you his own struggle with words that point to the deeper struggle within his heart.  He communicates to you his desperation each day for God’s grace.
2. He explores topics with lists and simple step-by-steps.
3. He probes you at the end of each chapter with questions: piercing, revealing, pin-pointing questions.
4. He continually leads you to what is our hope – the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

This book is a good resource for providing biblical help to squabbles among teenagers, communication conflict in marriages, and unforgiveness among Christians.
