Title The Secret And Supremacy Of The Expressed Word
Award-Winner in the Christian book category of the National Best Books 2008 Awards, sponsored by USA Book News.
ISBN: 9781434340481
Written in plain language, The Secret And Supremacy Of The Expressed Word is about the incredible power that lies in the words that we, as individuals, speak, write and sign every day. Our words are the most powerful tools that exist. Based on solid scientific research, as well as citing authoritative sources and distilled from various real life experiences, the book also touches on our words even before we express them, in a process that is otherwise called intention. Critically, the book examines the characteristics of our words. The author concluded that the words - in our minds, in our mouths, in our hands or bodies – are living things! The writer took great pains to explain, for the benefit of the reader, how our words achieve their spectacular effects, which includes creative, reproductive and transformative abilities. Thus, nothing will ever exist or be created without our words preceding them.
The Secret and Supremacy of the Expressed Word takes the reader through the step-by-step process of ‘how to benefit from’
the spectacular power of words. Many examples are given for the reader to follow.
The
book will appeal to all, including individuals who want to change
things in their life, positive thinkers, clinicians, Christians and
non-Christians, scientists and all enquiring minds who want to know
about our words, and those who want to advance in life, or those who
are simply puzzled by events around them - young or old.
