REDISCOVERING THE USE OF THE TONGUE: REJECTING OFFENSE, STRIFE, AND UNFORGIVENESS 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.
Rediscovering the Use of the Tongue: 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, Rediscovering the Use of the Tongue: Rejecting Offense, Strife, and Unforgiveness can offer you the consolation of discovering a path to encouragement, harmony, and reconciliation.

At age 85 I had published my first “Tryist” as an author, “A Cruise To Die For.” I referred to it as my Mini “Novel” covering 50 pages that can be read going up the elevator, great during halftime and easily slid under the door of your neighbor when finished.
My current work “Voyage to Cryon”, deals with Cryonics, the preservation of humans in ice chambers with the
hope of resuscitation in the future. A scheduled Anti-Aging Cruise sponsored by the Cosmetic industry changes course to indoctrinate unsuspecting candidates to prospective reincarnation and lasting life.
My third book “Tunnel Vision” not yet published may be wallet size.
“What’s it like being 80” is somewhat biographical and a comical relief in accepting yourself being “old”
and left to the reader to edit his own experiences in this Octogenarian Society, with limited (By attrition) membership. I have recently combined six books, “A Cruise to Die For”, “Tunnel”, “Diner for Two”, “Walk with the Son”, “What’s it Like Being 80” and “Cryon” into One volume entitled, “The Books of Rathe.”
I have just completed “Hate in Those Eyes” and “Octogenarian Guide to \Survival.” (Unedited)
At age 89 I still have a lust for life or whatever is left of it, so I keep on writing until the Great Author Above Closes His book on me.
