Reception

Reviewing 30 Days to Taming Your Tongue, Sabrina Clore wrote in Beyond Today magazine: "Meant to be a day challenge to taming that most unruly member, the tongue, it is good to note James , where Jesus’ brother James says, 'No man can tame the tongue.' Realizing this, there are still many words of wisdom given on how to tame your tongue in the Bible.

This book is the author’s personal study and thoughts as she studied what the Bible had to say about the tongue."[28][29]

Dr. Carlus Gupton, Professor of Ministry at Harding School of Theology, described Confronting Without Offending as "a practical guide to confrontation, laced with biblical principle".[30] He wrote in his LifeandLeadership book summary: "While there are more technical volumes on this subject, Pegues is excellent for those needing a quick, popularly-written guide to this important aspect of the ministry of reconciliation."[30]
