The words we speak or write have real impact. They can bring love and acceptance, but they can also hurt and destroy. Do we want to build others up or tear them down?
Jo-Anne Berthelsen encourages us to make our interactions with others as positive as we can through God’s strength. Combining her own experiences with biblical teaching, Jo-Anne explores twelve ways our words can be used to build up those around us, including through empathy, affirmation and forgiveness.
By being more intentional about the way we speak on a daily basis, we can create our own unique legacy of life-giving words that reveals God’s heart to those around us.

A family tragedy. A daughter blamed. A life changed. A relationship restored.
In 1909, Meg Porter heads to Brisbane to study art, but a family tragedy changes everything. Heartbroken, she decides to give up her art classes and accept a marriage proposal.
After a miscarriage, Meg embarks on a journey of dealing with the past and of receiving God’s love and grace. Yet she struggles to forgive her mother—and to overcome her own guilt.
As the family grows and relocates, Meg learns to value her artistic gift again and to draw closer to God. Yet the war brings further family tragedy. And life becomes so busy, as she supports her husband and cares for their five children.
How can Meg keep her growing faith—and her artist heart—intact? And how can she ever forgive her mother?

Her hope is that this book will inspire others to undertake their own journey of allowing God to remove those layers that hide their true and unique self, secure in the knowledge of God’s deep love and acceptance.
