Most damage is not done by what we say-but by why we say it.The Four Motive Test is an invitation into holy restraint. Rooted in Scripture and supported by psychological insight, this book helps readers recognize the internal drivers that shape speech, silence, confrontation, and explanation.Through biblical reflection, practical frameworks, and guided self-examination, readers learn to pause before reacting, to discern before declaring, and to speak only when their words serve repair rather than release.This book is for those who are tired of: explaining too soondefending too quicklyspiritualizing unresolved motivesconfusing honesty with healingTransformation begins before the words ever leave the mouth.
