Read by the author!

When was the last time you spoke to your spouse or wrote an email to a colleague but didn't feel like they understood your point? Personal and professional relationships are the backbone of our lives, learn to manage your conversations, avoid tough talks or unnecessary misunderstandings, and become a clear, confident communicator with Biblical principles and wisdom.

Bestselling author and speaker Dr. Emerson Eggerichs has crafted an invigorating approach to communication in our modern, digital era—where every interaction can shape our lives.

Speak Your Mind is your guide to navigating daily conversations with practical tools and Biblical wisdom. This book will help you master the art of communication by teaching you to consider four essential questions before you speak or type:

Is it true?

Is it kind?

Is it necessary?

Is it clear?

By sincerely engaging with these questions, you will begin honing powerful skills, ensuring you say what you mean and mean what you say in your professional and personal relationships.

Speak Your Mind, an inspired and revised update of Before You Hit Send, features a personal assessment to help you lean into your communicative strengths and pinpoint areas for growth.

Unlock the power of clear communication today!
