Among all creatures on earth, human beings have the unique ability to communicate with words. Yet we were not the first to speak. God, whose voice formed the universe, created us in His image that we might share in His goodness. Therefore, our own words are anything but neutral—they’re a gift to be stewarded for the good of our neighbor and the glory of the Lord.

In A Word Fitly Spoken, Rev. Aaron Garriott introduces the art of communication within its theological framework. It’s not until we understand that our God is a communicating God that we can approach conversation, public speaking, conflict management, digital media, and more with a biblical perspective. Beyond a how-to manual or a list of principles, this book underscores the purpose of our communication as Christians: communion with God and His people.
