Endorsements for Simple Little Words
If you want an enjoyable and rewarding experience read this book and ask God to make
you the kind of person that says a word of encouragement to those you meet. They will
be better for it, and so will you. I loved reading this book!
—Tim LaHaye, NY Times Bestselling co-author of the Left Behind series
Words of encouragement are like music to the soul. Simple Little Words: What You Say
Can Change a Life will inspire you to say those encouraging words to someone who
needs to hear them. A word of warning—you might want to keep a tissue handy,
because the stories in this book will tug your heartstrings and bring tears to your eyes.
—Karlene and George Beverly Shea, legendary gospel singer and recording artist
Wow! Michelle Cox and John Perrodin offer captivating stories of encouragement's
power in Simple Little Words and show us how to make that same difference in
another's life. But don't start this book before you are supposed to leave for a meeting.
You won't want to stop reading.
—Sandra P. Aldrich, author of From One Single Mother to Another
Simple words. Sometimes they flow so easily, the speakers don't realize the impact of
their words. Yet those words can change attitudes, shift direction in life, offer hope, or
thoroughly crush the hearers. In this book, nearly 40 people share the words that
changed their lives or the impact their statements made on others. I finished this book
with the thought: What we often think of as simple words become powerful when
spoken. We never know the impact of what we say.
—Cecil Murphey, writer or co-writer of more than 100 books, including 90 Minutes in
Heaven and Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story.
Get out the tissue and get ready to be inspired. Simple Little Words will not only change
your life, but it will equip you to change other’s lives for the good in small ways that
make a BIG difference!
—Pam Farrel, author of over 25 books including best selling Men are like Waffles,
Women are like Spaghetti, & Woman of Influence
Do not attempt to read this without a box of tissues. Beautiful words, inspiring stories,
and a reminder to us all about the power behind the little things we say.
—Eva Marie Everson, best-selling author, national and international speaker
Simple Little Words is neither simple, nor little. This wonderful collection of stories about
how simple words can bless, is a blessing in itself. It would make a lovely gift.
—Deborah Raney, author of Within This Circle and Leaving November
Words can destroy. Or, as we see in Simple Little Words, they have the power to heal,
encourage, motivate, change, and inspire. Proverbs 15:4 tells us, ‘Gentle words bring
life and health; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.’ The authors who shared their
stories in this book know the power of words, and the power of the Word.
—Yvonne Lehman, award-winning author of 46 novels, director of the Blue Ridge
Mountains Christian Writers Conference
Heartwarming, inspiring, and poignant, Simple Little Words is a gem of a book.
—Steven James, professional storyteller and author of more than 24 books
What a collection! If you’re like me, you’ll want to keep reading story after story, all in
one sitting. Instead, pace yourself, savor the encouraging words—and keep the tissues
handy.
