Life-Changing Book
This book has literally changed the way I speak. It has changed **when** I speak. Karen is honest in relaying stories about her own struggles with her words and her tongue. She gives practical advice that is easy to follow. The verses she interweaves between her stories and personal applications are spot on.
If you really want to do better with your words, read this book.

This was such an amazing book! Not only did it put a lot of things in perspective but it also gives you the information and power to put those things to work in your life! I loved doing this study with a few of my close friends. It made the study more fun and we all kept each other accountable! I would totally recommend this book and study to any one who is trying to live more like God or who has big mouth like me! I often have no filter and say whatever pops into my head! this book was great for me because I could see the possible damage I could cause!

This book was an absolutely excellent read. It should not have taken me as long as it did to finish (I was in between reading other books and/or would just be lazy reading). I wish I had known about this book sooner. The biblical principals were so encouraging and practical! I highly recommend.

This is a great book about all the trouble our tongues can get us into and how to avoid each type. It is filled with great stories and it is easy to find yourself among the pages. I am so glad to have read this book. I learned quite a bit and also found out ways I get myself into trouble without trying. Great read!

A worthwhile read. I wish it wasn't so relevant to me. :) I can't say it was a literary masterpiece and a few spots were cheesy, but it was still good. I need to revisit the reminders in the book from time to time.

I'm torn on giving this book one or two stars.
What it boils down to is; there are some good nuggets of information in this book, but there are far too many parts of the book that are not Biblical or a twisting of the scripture to fit her belief system or tradition.
I am always suspicious of authors who use numerous versions of the Bible to fit in what they're trying to convey. By the end of the book, I was questioning who her master truly is. That's never a good sign.

The first time I tried reading this book, I dnf'd it at page 19 when the author first and accurately mentions God's still small voice, but then farther down the page mentions three times the Holy Spirit's whisper. This is not in scripture. Every verse that mentions whisper is in a negative way. God doesn't whisper.
Secondly, I have issues with the many different versions used to fit what the author was trying to convey.
Thirdly, though there were some good points in the book, I wouldn't recommend this book to a new Christian, or even the "average" Christian; you know the ones that include worldly beliefs into their lives and call it spiritual but it isn't Biblical. i.e. yoga and the like. Or claiming piercing your ear is showing you're a slave of God or wearing a toe ring as a symbol of being a slave of God. These are pagan.
We're not slaves of God, we are children of God. We are not to mutilate our bodies to prove it either.
