What Not to Say Quick Guide

When you love someone who has drifted from God, the wrong sentence can close a door that took months to open. Most of those sentences come from love and fear, and the person on the other end hears something very different.

The What Not to Say Quick Guide is a single-page cheat sheet built for real life. It covers ten common phrases, such as “We just want you back,” “You know better than this” and “It’s just a phase.” For each one, it shows what the other person tends to hear and gives you a calmer, more open version to try instead. At the bottom are three questions to ask yourself before you speak.
