A Soft Answer

di Nicholas Dailey (Autore)

Lamplight Books, 2026

"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." (Proverbs 15:1) You know the feeling: the comment you should not have posted, the family dinner that went sideways, the meeting where you won the point and lost the room. Most of us were never taught how to disagree well. Proverbs has more to say about the tongue than almost any book in the Bible. A Soft Answer takes that wisdom into the places we argue now: the break room, the family group chat, the church business meeting, the neighborhood, and the comment section. Over 31 days you'll follow a retired county mediator and a younger shift supervisor through one hard season. Their conversations are short and honest, and they lead into the day's teaching and practice. What you'll learn: - How to listen long enough to understand the other side before you answer - What makes an answer soft without making it weak, and when to say nothing at all - How to tell the truth with grace instead of choosing between them - How to give correction and how to receive it - How to make peace when the disagreement is real and is not going away Includes a daily "Before You Speak" practice, a prayer, journal questions, and a four-session group guide. Nonpartisan by design: it will not tell you how to vote. It will help you talk with the people who vote differently.
