Here is the review.

Our words have the power to heal and the power to destroy.  It takes much skill to be able to maintain a good balance in one’s speech of truth and grace.  As creatures who are made in the image of God, it is not suprising that our words have such great power.  God spoke the world into being, but many times we speak and tear it apart.  It is vital that we see our speech as a part of God’s redemptive plan to restore the entire cosmos and especially something so powerful as speech.

Here is the prayer.

“Lord — Protect my family and me. Forgive me my sins, and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will,”

Here is a quote from The Reason for God, pg 192.

“God did not inflict pain on someone else, but rather on the Cross absorbed the pain, violence, and evil of the world into himself.  Therefore the God of the Bible is not like the primitive deities who demanded our blood for their wrath to be appeased.  Rather, this is a God who becomes human and offers his own lifeblood in order to honor moral justice and merciful love so that someday he can destory all evil without destroying us.”
