In reply to floyd. That old adage never gets old, Floyd. Kindness and humility go a LONG way in our witness of God's love. Without those ingredients underneath our actions, we can often do more damage than good in our attempts to "do good."

I appreciate the common sense approach. It’s sad that Christians have to be reminded to be humble and see others as our Savior did…

The old adage came to mind as I read; “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”

Thank you for the review. This book sounds like a great book to read. We sometimes make more out of what to say that we end up saying nothing at all. Just the other day I stopped to ask someone who was waiting on me how her day was going. It was a simple conversation, but she exploded with enthusiasm. She said, “No one ever asks me how my day is even when I ask them.”

Now, I want this book! I can’t help but think of His conversations and how many started with a question. Oh, the power of a question mark!

I love that question “How was that for you?” Reminds me of one I saw on your blog a while back: “Tell me more.”

This sounds like a thoughtful and thought-provoking book. It makes me think I’m missing out on many beautiful opportunities to meaningfully connect with people.

Lisa, I just finished a coaching certification program that has challenged me to ask questions in everyday conversations instead of speaking too quickly. When I remember to do that it makes me a better listener. This sounds like a great book.

42 seconds….what a revelation! I think when we read them in the Bible they seem longer because they were never trite and always impactful. We do indeed have much to learn from the “Master Communicator”. Thanks, Lisa!
