God spoke the world into existence in only 6 days with a few words. Jesus saved the world uttering only a few things. Can we change the world with six words or less? Dave DeVries gives it a try. Learning to speak in a concise and yet meaningful manner is a developing art form. In the day of twitter and facebook we are all learning how to say something important in 140 characters or less. The wisdom shared in this book took a whole lot longer to learn than it takes to read, so take advantage of this book!

My friend Dave DeVries has collected his best learnings after two decades of church planting ministry and boiled them down to a collection of insightful six word statements and quotes. I am using them for inspiration, motivation, and training, as well as starters for a great discussion. You can too!
