5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Indescribable! Deserves SIX Stars!, January 2, 2001

This review is from: The Tongue: A Creative Force (Paperback)

Trying to descibe grasping the truth from this book and applying it in your life is like trying to describe what the Word of God can do. I have had this book in my library for over five years. I can't recall how many times I have read this work from cover to cover. Capps hits the nail on the head; the words you speak define your life! Forget using a highlighter to mark your favorite passages in this book; just dip the whole book in yellow ink.

Bottom line is that you get what you speak, that's it, period! Confess what you want not what you have. Speak this daily for starters, "I am blessed, highly favored, empowered to prosper, prospering, walking in divine health, blessed to be a blessing and I can't lose with the faith that I use."

To our unbeliever friends: the truth in this book applies to you, too! Believe it or not, regardless of your faith, religion, or lack thereof - you get what you speak.

Be blessed!

5.0 out of 5 stars MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, June 5, 2003

This review is from: The Tongue: A Creative Force (Paperback)

Remember your Mom telling you, "If you don't have something nice to say about someone, just don't say anything?" She was right!

In this outstanding book by author Charles Capps, you learn the importance of what comes out of your mouth. Are you blaming circumstances, others or fate for
your situation in life? Well, perhaps you better turn that finger inward and point at yourself.

If you are a Bible believer, than the words in Proverbs 18:21 should make you stand up and take notice. "Death an life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." In other words, your own words are planting in the ground your future. Scary isn't it?

I don't suppose we like the ball to be put in our court when it has been so easy to blame everything else on our 'rotten luck', bad situations, and unfulfilled dreams.
After reading this book, we now have a new saying in my house and a new word maybe you would want to apply it as well and change your life forever.
"Just what are those little 'lippers' saying?"
If I can have what I say, I say I have only good things from now on. How about you?

Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great piece of TRUTH!, February 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Tongue: A Creative Force (Paperback)

Proverbs 6:2 "if you have been trapped by what you said,
ensnared by the words of your mouth,"...CA, Capps' quote in the book "you have bound me by the words of your own mouth" is truthfully stated in Proverbs 6:2 above. God made the statement, He is not denying His own omnipotence. However, God does give man FREE WILL and we can limit God's power in our lives by what we say and do if we don't follow His Word! As for Mark 11:22 "Have faith in God" if you have a KJV Bible look in the footnotes, the original translation from the Greek was actually "have the faith of God" or the God-kind of faith!... I have this footnote in my King James Bible I was astonished when I saw it! I would have never noticed it if I hadn't read a book by Kenneth Hagin. In summary, the book by Charles Capps is EXCELLENT and Biblical! Jesus said we get what we believe and what we say so be careful of believing in the negative!
