The groundbreaking National Book Award Finalist and Michael L. Printz Honor Book with more than 3.5 million copies sold, Speak is a bestselling modern classic about consent, healing, and finding your voice. "Speak up for yourself—we want to know what you have to say." From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High, Melinda knows this is a big lie, part of the nonsense of high school. She is friendless, an outcast, because she busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops. Now nobody will talk to her, let alone listen to her. As time passes, Melinda becomes increasingly isolated and practically stops talking altogether. Only her art class offers any solace, and it is through her work on an art project that she is finally able to face what really happened at that terrible party: she was raped by an upperclassman, a guy who still attends Merryweather and is still a threat to her. Her healing process has just begun when she has another violent encounter with him. But this time Melinda fights back—and refuses to be silent. From Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award laureate Laurie Halse Anderson comes the extraordinary landmark novel that has spoken to millions of readers. Powerful and utterly unforgettable, Speak has been translated into 35 languages, was the basis for the major motion picture starring Kristen Stewart, and is now a stunning graphic novel adapted by Laurie Halse Anderson herself, with artwork from Eisner-Award winner Emily Carroll.

Speak to it, is the first non-musical book of Dr. Barbara Ward Farmer that deals with helping and assuring all readers that silence is not golden when you are sick, beaten, rejected or being denied of the essence and promise of life itself. This book will give the reader a deeper insight on the authority and power one has to speak over, speak into, and speak about the walls, barriers, giants and death itself that often hinder, block and even elimate our faith in God to trust him to change our situations just by taking the courage to speak to those things that are not, as though they were.

The world you live in was created with the words you have spoken. If you don't like your world, you must change your words. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. You must speak life into every situation because the truth of the matter is, every time you open your mouth you are creating a positive world around you or a negative world; the choice is yours! I wish that someone had explained this to me when I was younger because there are plenty of things that I would not have said and there are things that I would have said about my future. Can you imagine what this world would be like if we all spoke life to each other? Can you imagine what our communities, our churches, our businesses, our families, and our children would be like if we spoke what God said about these matters? This book is to encourage you and let you know that God needs your voice here on earth, that God created you to speak, and that your words are powerful. No longer will you just talk about a problem; you will begin to speak of what God says about that problem. Speak to it!

Is healing alive and well in your life - the way it should be? God promised healing for His people. He doesn't break His promise. The same healing power you read about in the bible is still available today. How can we experience that power today? When you confess the Word of God about healing over your life you will experience the healing power of the Word! The bible says in Mark 11:23, "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith". That's whosoever speaking to whatsoever! Healing is yours for the taking just Speak To It!
