This Bible study is the companion to Communication Matters: 31-Days to Speaking Life in Your Relationships, and the five lessons match the weekly themes of the devotional addressing issues of the heart, mind, listening and speaking-all essential components to effective communication. This study uses scenarios from work, family, and other relationships to study diverse aspects of interpersonal communication as readers apply scriptures that are referenced in the devotional.

Communication Matters: A Biblical Study can be completed individually. However, it is designed with the idea that each lesson could be completed in a group study while the reader completes the devotional individually. Whether the group is a church Bible study, women's ministry, Sunday school class or just a group of friends, the discussion in the group study will provide an opportunity to see multiple perspectives in the vignettes and fresh ways to apply scripture to our daily living.
