Well Said: Choosing Words that Speak Life, Give Grace, and Strengthen Your Faith and Family
Have you ever had moments when your words have gotten the better of you?
Maybe you knew how much something would hurt, but you said it anyway because it felt good in the moment. Maybe you’re fighting a habit of complaining or yelling, when you really want to be a person who speaks with kindness and patience. Or maybe you stay silent because you’re never quite sure what to say. Whatever your “maybe” may be, you are in the right place. As a wife, mom, and the creator of the popular Modern Farmhouse Family Instagram, Sarah Molitor has learned firsthand that yes, words can hurt—but they can also help and heal.
In Well Said, she uses authentic, relatable stories paired with Biblical truth to help readers
- Use their words to create grace-filled, positive relationships
- Develop a healthy, balanced approach to social media (and find their wisdom filter)
- Feel equipped to use words to forgive and reconcile differences so they can live freely and fully . . . and so much more.
Well Said helps you explore what it means to speak words that direct you to the very heart of Jesus. Sarah will be the trusted friend who walks alongside you, encouraging you to discover God’s true desire for the words we speak every day.
With vulnerability and wisdom on every page, Sarah points to the path of life when it comes to our words. Well Said encourages us with Scripture, stories, and practical tips on how to take care of our hearts so we can take care of our words. Every house will benefit from this book!
“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words shall never hurt me.” Wrong. Words stick with us—sometimes forever. Sarah offers a beautiful reminder of why and how to speak with intention every single day.
Words are hard. They can either be life-giving or fire-setting. In a time when thoughtless words can be spoken (or posted) to the masses in a matter of seconds, it is more important than ever for us to carefully harness our speech for the good of others and the glory of God. If you, like me, have ever struggled with taming your tongue, then Sarah is just the friend you need! Her vulnerability and warmth in Well Said will meet you right where you are and lead you to the One who always speaks in perfect love.
In a tinderbox culture, every word is a match, so this book on developing God’s way with words is both timely and important. Anything but preachy, Sarah opens up the vault of her own life to share honestly from her wins and losses. If the wise use of words feels like an uphill battle, you’ll find hope, courage, and practical help inside these lovely pages.
This book is beautiful and impactful with a powerful message. It’s filled with engaging real-life stories woven in that bring out amazing lessons of truth. Definitely a great read!
Powerful yet practical, Sarah gives the road map we all need when we’ve reached a bump in the road and our native tongue has become critical, unkind, and dishonoring. Not only will you find a friend in Sarah who just GETS US in every page, but you’ll walk away with your chin up, knowing your gracious God longs to set you free and He’s given you words to speak as a gift to build others up. Hands down: an encouraging must-read for any Christian woman who longs to speak life to those around her. Indeed . . . well said.
Modern Farmhouse Family blogger Molitor chronicles her struggle to understand “when to use my words—and when to keep my mouth shut” in this candid debut guide to “effective and life-giving” communication . . . Weaving in warts-and-all anecdotes from marriage and motherhood, Molitor assures readers that whether their “struggle with words stems from past hurts, habits, or carelessness,” they can learn to both hold back when necessary and use their voice to build others up. Chatterboxes, overtalkers, and the quick-tempered will find assurance and inspiration.
