Breaking the Power of Negative Words: How Positive Words Can Heal
by
About:
The spoken word has immense potential for either building up or tearing down. Too often, it's the latter. Many of us are daily carrying around hurtful words, sometimes without even knowing it. These negative words have great influence over our lives and the lives of those around us. But thankfully, they are not the last word.
Mary Busha speaks to the hurting and guides them toward victory over the harmful, demeaning, or insulting words of their past. She shows readers how to
- understand the emotions and circumstances behind the words
- choose to want to forgive their offenders
- embrace the truth about who they are created to be
- recognize the effect of both negative and positive self-talk
- pray effectively to break the power of negative words
- and walk in the freedom God provides in his Word
She also encourages readers to find ways to use their own words to lift up the people God places in their paths.

My Thoughts:
Words have power. Positive and encourage words and bring life while negative words can bring death. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. In Breaking the Power of Negative Words, Mary Busha understands the influence that positive and negative words have on our life. This book gives the reader practical steps in creating new habits to speak words of life. She also outlines how to forgive others with scripture and examples from her own life. This book can be deeply convicting and thought provoking. I know that I benefited from this book and thought of several people who are very careful about the words they speak who would enjoy this book. It is a great tool for anyone who is intentional about the words they speak or someone who is trying to get a handle on practical tools to reframe their thinking.
