The tongue, although it is a little member,” is very powerful and also very difficult to control. When used wisely, it can bless and comfort, but when used unwisely, it can wound and kill. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” (Prov. 18:21.)

This workbook has been written with the hope that each lesson will cause the student to be more aware of the right and wrong uses of the tongue. Jesus said, “For by thy words shalt thou be justified, and by thy words shalt thou be condemned.” (Matt. 12:37.)

The scriptures used in this workbook come from the King James Version.
