Abstract
Perceptive listening pays big dividends. It builds stronger interpersonal relationships, increases a person's influence on others' lives, enables speakers to better express their feelings, and helps others talk about ideas, problems, and decisions that need resolving. Perceptive listening, as Dr. Norm Wakefield writes, is a great ministry to others and one of the best ways to express unselfish love. So how do you reap all these benefits? Between the Words gives specific, practical help on becoming the kind of active listener who reflects the likeness of a listening God. With quizzes, journaling opportunities, and Wakefield's accessible insight, the book covers how to: use the power of questionsmotivate people to listen to youremove listening obstacles and respond appropriatelylisten for feelings, ideas, and meaningminimize miscommunication and reduce relational struggleshear and respond to God Between the Words is valuable not only for counselors, ministers, and speakers, but for every family member, friend, or spouse who wants to stimulate personal growth and encourage the growth of others. Perceptive listening is a powerful tool for healthy relationships and for discovering valuable truths that move us toward wholeness.
