5.0 out of 5 stars Silver Boxes, March 18, 2001

By

This review is from: Silver Boxes: The Gift of Encouragement (Hardcover)

I'm ordering the book today. Yesterday I had the opportunity to see pieces of the video at our womans breakfast at our church. Lives were changed yesterday. For sure. I only wish I had seen this before my sons were born. I'm certain I would not be experiencing the type of troubles I am now had I seen this first. I am telling everyone I know about Silver Boxes and Ephesians 4:29. I have a large silver box on my piano. A reminder that what I speak out to my children, my husband and everyone I come in contact with, should be encouraging, uplifting and edifying. You will never be the same after this material. Never. Thank You God for using this woman to change me forever. Speak life, not death to the soul of another. This will be my shower gift to every mom-to-be forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars My toes are blessedly black and blue, January 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Silver Boxes: The Gift of Encouragement (Hardcover)

Excellent book! I got my toes stomped on a couple of times because I realized just what kind of person I was...selfish, mean and ungrateful. After reading her book, I realized that I can become a more thoughtful person if I just take the time to think through what I want to say or do. I can help make someone's life just a little bit sunnier for even a moment by just a word or gesture. Maybe it'll snowball and make the world a happier place for just a moment.
