The Voice in Speech and Song audio book

The Voice in Speech and Song. The tongue and speech are gifts from God, Ellen White states. And indeed, many Proverbs confirm the great influence of these talents-both for good and harm. Therefore, it behooves us to rightly cultivate these divine gifts. This publication emphasizes our responsibility as Christians to use voice correctly, illustrates how Christ used this gift, and gives practical counsel about how we can effectively train this mighty power.
