Rejecting Offense, Strife, and Unforgiveness: Rediscovering the Use of the Tongue speaks the plain truth about the great power that the tongue the words spoken in the midst of relationships has to bring pain by opening up wounds. On the other hand, when Christians rediscover the guidance of the Holy Spirit and then redirect the intentions of their words, they can use the tongue for upbuilding one another, seeking peace, and offering forgiveness.
The author, Samuel Kioko Kiema, draws upon his own experiences of coming to faith in Jesus Christ and of following the Spirit's calling to minister as a missionary, teacher, and scholar to guide his exploration of the misuses and uses of the tongue in families, communities, ministries, and businesses.
Rejecting Offense, Strife, and Unforgiveness, drawing upon a wealth of passages from the Scriptures and offering seasoned and wise teachings rooted in those passages, presents an approachable and understandable examination of the insidious power of the tongue to bring about pain. It pairs that portrait with words of encouragement, explaining how the Spirit can guide the use of the tongue for good.
Whether you have experience with speaking words that have injured others or with hearing words that have caused you pain, Rejecting Offense, Strife, and Unforgiveness: Rediscovering the Use of the Tongue can offer you the consolation of discovering a path to encouragement, harmony, and reconciliation.

Most people are taught that calamities of nature are caused by God. There are businesses that exist to replace property deemed destroyed "by an act of God." We feel that loved ones are taken by God through some disease or tragedy before we are ready for them to go. We learn growing up that God controls everything about our lives and we are to fear Him. We are told that if we don't straighten up and act correctly, God will punish us. But without God and His moral righteousness, how can we know what is the correct manner of conducting our lives? None of these statements made, that God is to blame, are true and there is proof that He really does love us more than we can imagine and He wants to give us every good thing that we desire. Since the fall of Adam from grace, God the Father has been executing His plan to redeem us back to a right relationship with Him. His desire is for us to experience His pure, unending and unconditional love. The decision to take part in that love is found in our free will to make up our own minds. He honors that because He wants us to respond freely to His love. Like presenting evidence in court to defend the accused, this book determines to show His innocence of guilt.

We have written this book to laud the virtues of godliness in discovering purpose or assignment between spouses, business partners, ministry partners, government officials, political affiliates and any other enterprise working together to accomplish it.

The historical novel "Thunder in the Wind" tells the story of the deculturation of Indians living on reservations in the late eighteenth century. Being subjugated to an Indian Bureau that adhered to the ethic that was fashionable at the time of "white man's burden" is how the Assiniboine, and one family in particular, dealt with the story. The main character's attitude was just as perplexing and ineffective as everyone else's. He had been lost for a long time. People who are living through the destruction of their culture now can sympathize with his mother's path while also understanding the road he ultimately took. To save her family, she desired to accept subordination and the giving up of her tradition and heritage. Her son's revolt employed strategies akin to those employed by people who use fear to intimidate and subdue opponents today. The way things worked out and how he handled his disagreement with his mother demonstrated how common the issue is. It is a metaphor for the times we live in.
