Randy Alcorn, Director, Eternal Perspective Ministries With stylistic diversity but thematic unity, these men bring a rich, biblical, Christ-centered, interesting, and immensely helpful perspective. ![]() It’s impossible to overstate the power and eternal impact of our spoken and written words, for good or evil. Every chapter, including the introduction, brings a unique and vital perspective to a critical subject. Given the contributors, I expected this book to be good, but it exceeds expectations. Leland Ryken, Emeritus Professor, Wheaton College This collection of essays, consistently weighty in substance, makes good on the claims of the book’s title: it convinces us of the power of words and instills a desire to see them used to express the wonder of God. What we need is what this book can guide us to-the right kind of words used for the right ends. Our society is drowning in a glut of words and images we do not need more of them. This is a truly wonderful book on a timely and neglected subject. Michael Horton, Professor, Westminster Seminary California Faith and practice are wonderfully integrated in this collection of godly wisdom. These many facets of verbal communication-both divine and human-are displayed in one rich and enriching jewel. The triune God created and upholds us by his Word, redeems us by renarrating our lives by his gospel, and directs us by his commands so that our words become more conformed to his Word. As the Scriptures indicate, they can create and destroy, build and burn down, save and condemn. This book is urgently needed, and I am most pleased to recommend this volume with a good word.Īlbert Mohler, President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary The contributors offer a rescue from this inattentiveness with wise words of spiritual counsel, deep words of doctrinal conviction, and saving words of the gospel. This said, our relative inattentiveness to the meaning of words in the Christian church is to our shame. Words are central to life, to communication, to meaning, and to Christian theology. Jesus Christ set the record straight when he declared that we do not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Father. John Frame, Professor, Reformed Theological Seminary I hope that it attracts many readers and much attention. ![]() The Power of Words and the Wonder of God includes some scriptural, thoughtful essays on these subjects. So we need to give a lot more thought to our language, its meaning and effects, and its relation to God’s own Word. ![]() James 3:1–12 tells us that if we can control our tongues, we can control our whole lives. Our words are central to our lives, as God’s Word is to his. Perhaps surprisingly for many of us, human life reflects God’s word in this respect. So God’s speech is fundamental to who he is. God’s Word is not only the word he speaks to us it is Jesus Christ himself, according to John 1:1–14. In these chapters, derived from Desiring God's 2008 national conference, John Piper, Sinclair Ferguson, and Mark Driscoll team with worship pastor Bob Kauflin, counselor Paul Tripp, and literature professor Daniel Taylor to help readers harness their tongues and appropriately command their silences for the glory of God and the ministry of the gospel. Since the tongue is such a powerful force-for good or evil-we are wise to ask: What would homes, churches, schools, even the public square be like if we used words with Christian intentionality and eloquence? The Power of Words and the Wonder of God seeks to answer this difficult question. Even in our technological age, politics, education, business, and relationships center on words. Words carry immeasurable significance: The universe was created with a word Jesus healed and cast out demons with a word rulers have risen and fallen by their words Christians have worshiped through words of song, confession, and preaching.
