Words Hurt

Healing from Painful Words, Finding Your Worth in God’s Truth, and Learning to Speak Life

Some words are spoken in seconds but remembered for a lifetime.

Have you ever carried the pain of something someone said years ago? A careless comment, a hurtful joke, a harsh criticism, or words from someone you loved and trusted?

Maybe they didn't mean to hurt you. Maybe they never even realized they did. But the words stayed with you.

The truth is, words can leave wounds no one else can see. But they don't have to define who you are.

In Words Hurt, Sherri Davis offers a compassionate, faith-filled journey toward healing from painful words, discovering your worth through God's truth, and learning to use your own words to encourage rather than wound.

Through relatable experiences, biblical wisdom, and thoughtful reflections, you'll discover how to:

• Let go of hurtful words that have followed you for years.
• Stop allowing other people's opinions to define your worth.
• Find peace when an apology never comes.
• Understand forgiveness without pretending the hurt didn't happen.
• Recognize how your own words affect the people you love.
• Build stronger relationships through kindness, grace, and understanding.
• Replace painful labels with the unchanging truth of God's Word.

Whether you've been wounded by someone's words or wish you could take back words you've spoken, this book is a gentle reminder that God's grace makes room for healing, forgiveness, and growth.

You cannot change every word that was spoken to you, but you can choose which voice defines you—and what words you leave behind.

Because words have the power to hurt, but they also have the power to bring hope, encouragement, and healing.
