Popular Women of Faith speaker and author of Lessons I Learned in the Dark, Jennifer Rothschild, has a message for every woman: Words are powerful. Especially the words women speak to themselves. All too often what they say to themselves when they lie in bed at night or look in the mirror in the morning is not even close to the words God wants them to speak to their souls.
Scripture has a lot to say about this “soul talk.” Because many women feel overwhelmed and struggle with issues of self–esteem, depression, and discouragement, Jennifer shares practically and helpfully from her own life and from Scripture to show how every woman can turn her words—and her life—around for good.
She offers 7 powerful things a woman can say to her soul, including:
Press On – “March on my soul, be strong” (Judges 5:21)
Look Up – “My soul, put your hope in God” (Psalm 42:5)
Chill Out – “Be at rest, O my soul” (Psalm 116:7)
Self Talk, Soul Talk is perfect for individual or small group study and includes interactive pages and Scripture passages for digging deeper.
Jennifer Rothschild has been a frequent speaker on the Women of Faith tour and is the author of several books and Bible studies, including the popular Self Talk, Soul Talk. She has been featured on Dr. Phil, Good Morning America, and the Billy Graham Television Special. She is the founder of Fresh Grounded Faith Conferences and of WomensMinistry.Net, an online magazine for women.

'We walk by faith and not by sight.' 2 Corinthians 5:7 'It is well with my soul.' For Jennifer Rothschild, these words are much more than the lyrics from a familiar hymn; they represent a foundation upon which many life lessons have been learned in the dark. At the young age of fifteen, Jennifer was diagnosed with a rare, degenerative eye disease that would eventually steal her sight. It was more than a turning point for the Miami, Fl, native. Her dreams of becoming a commercial artist and cartoonist faded. Words and music have replaced her canvas and palette for more than 25 years. Known for her substance, and a down-to-earth style, Jennifer weaves together colorful illustrations, universal principles, and music to help audiences find contentment, walk with endurance, and celebrate the ordinary. Through her signature wit and poignant story-telling, audiences are prompted to look beyond their circumstances to find unique 'gifts,' in unusual packaging.

This review is from: Self Talk, Soul Talk: What to Say When You Talk to Yourself (Paperback)
Like all people, I tended to talk negatively to myself a large portion of the time. After reading Self Talk, Soul Talk, I have learned to keep my thought closet neat and clean of negative thinking! When I hear KNOCK, KNOCK! STATE YOUR BUSINESS! I only welcome in positive, reinforcing thoughts. Wisdom should always be the keeper of the door to my thought closet.

How can I say it any other way. I LOVED THIS BOOK. This is not my first "visit" with Jennifer. I have truly loved every book of hers that I've read. She has the ability to speak to the heart, and in this case, to the soul as well. Her scripture is right there to add the base for all her ideas and message, so the book is solid as a rock. Jennifer is alive and alight with the holy spirit, and that is so evident in her writings. I enjoy her personal stories, and I applaud her spirit and her honesty. This book arrived at my door about a week before my sweet daddy passed away suddenly. Many changes, most quite drastic, have occurred while I read these chapters, and through them all, Jennifer's soul talk was something to soothe and heal. I have needed to tell myself to be strong, to march on, to be kind, to be honest. All the soul talk in the world is just chatter without the admonition to return to the Master's outstretched arms. Luckily, Jennifer also reminds us of this time after time. She is a beautiful person. I have seen her on Life Today, and I have experienced and met her on the page. I believe anyone who enjoys Christian literature will adore Soul Talk. Thanks so much, Jennifer, for writing this for me. I feel almost as if it became a personal letter from you to my heart and soul. And I was touched by your extraordinary love for God.

I have a great tendency to berate myself. From this day forward I will have "talks" with myself using Scripture to enforce what God is calling me to do instead of listening to the enemy. Thanks Jennifer.
