Don’t Underestimate the Power of Gentleness

Bible, Theology & Philosophy
Gentleness
Book Reviews

“I know what you might be thinking. Gentleness? Really? I don’t think gentleness is going to solve these issues. I’m angry. We need change now! We don’t have time to be gentle. Gentleness, however, may not always look like what you expect. That’s exactly what Scott Sauls…addresses in his new book, A Gentle Answer: Our ‘Secret’ Weapon In An Age of Us Against Them.” - TGC

I’m encouraged by this! Remember the “fruit of the Spirit”? Gal 5:22-23.

And there’s an audiobook!
