This book was written to encourage the believer and nonbeliever and to give motivational words of the day that will uplift, motivate, and captivate those who want to work out their soul’s salvation and grow daily with God. The Word Workout Plan was inspired by years of daily Facebook Word of the Days, the Prayer Room Ministry, and years of Friday- and Saturday-night live prayer and was governed by the Holy Spirit. I pray that after you have read this book that your spiritual muscles will have grown and matured in God. Working out is a consistent process, and when it’s done daily, it produces much growth and much success. When you work out your natural muscles, there is a process. There is truth, there is pain, there is progression, and there is pleasure. Each one of these plays a very important role in the Word workout plan. As you journey through the Word workout plan, note that if you want to build spiritual muscles, if you want to lose negative energy and spiritual weight, you have to allow God to open your heart and your spirit to receive what the Holy Spirit is teaching you through it. It’s a good day for a workout!

This book offers an easy-to-follow set of writing principles. For example, use active verbs whenever possible, favour concrete language over vague abstractions, avoid long strings of prepositional phrases, employ adjectives and adverbs only when they contribute something new to the meaning of a sentence and reduce your dependence on the "waste words": 'it', 'this', 'that' and 'there'. The author also shows these rules in action through examples from famous authors such as Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson. The book includes a test to help you assess your own writing and get advice on problem areas.
