5.0 out of 5 stars Much Needed Today
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2024
Ashlee Eiland's voice is clear, present and necessary for this cultural climate of today. Say Good is an intriguing read...or listen if you're into audiobooks like me! Her usage of the tightrope-walking analogy to describe the ways in which we can meticulously navigate the waters of culture and the timing with which to use our voices is a fresh but evergreen concept.

4.0 out of 5 stars Learn how to speak truth and bring light into dark places

Say Good. In a world where it's so easy to say negative, to say critical, to say horrid, nasty, mean things with just a click of a button on our computer keyboards or phones, saying good is needed. Certainly Christians should be the first to say good, to speak truth and bring light into dark places and hard circumstances.

Ashlee Eiland shares from her own life and from current events, examples of hard circumstances and invites her readers to ask where God might use them to say good. To speak up in defense of the voiceless or weak. To break awkward silences or call out lies. To open up honest conversation or diffuse volatility.

Say Good is timely and brave. Ashlee wades into the deep water of politics and race, among other controversial topics. She challenges all of us to do the same through a discernment process that she leads the reader through. For anyone looking to build bridges, promote healing and join in God's redemption of the world, this book is a good place to start.

How we use our voices matters. We can say what’s on our minds and in our hearts to no effect. Or we can say good and help bring forth a better world. Ashlee’s writing is artful and authentic. She weaves words into beautiful tapestries that inspire, educate, and empower.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eiland combines storytelling and research to create a solid framework for communication
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2024
I found Say Good to be a vulnerable, authentic account of the author’s journey in learning how to speak her truth with both passion and grace. Eiland combines storytelling and research to create a solid framework for communication and navigating conflict and for discerning when and HOW to speak up, to say good. Speaking up is noble, important work but will fall on deaf (or angry) ears if those words are wielded without any sort of accountability. Eiland shows her readers how to achieve that through modeling her own efforts and sharing small, but just as (or perhaps more) important, examples of how to implement saying good at home and the larger (or more public) practices online or at work. Say Good walks the reader through identifying their voice and discerning where they can be both passionate AND consistent - “by stewarding our voices and having the confidence to walk into tension and discomfort, we can navigate the chaos by refusing to abandon it…to speak into the voids we are uniquely called to enter.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and eye opening

I was so happy when I saw that it was available on audible! I clean houses for a living and all I do is listen to book after book! Hearing the author's voice, to me, is so powerful. It makes me feel like I can relate to them better. Like they're letting themselves be known. Even vulnerable. There's just so much to think about. As a white woman and being/doing better... I've got work to do. But, now I have a game plan. I thank this author for that. My privilege demands that I do more for those that are underprivileged. Hold them up, speak up for them, listen to them, do my own research and learn from them. Like Ashlee said, "because it is the right thing to do". It's a lot to process, and some heavy stuff that each of us should read with a humble heart.

This book is life-changing. It hits so many important subjects, such as how to use your voice, when to use your voice (and when not to), and how to discern what your passion is vs just a calling. Ashlee speaks good into so many different aspects of using our voices to Say Good into our world, and our world would be better off if more people took this book to heart.

Just two days ago, I was talking with a friend about this book, then about a field of advocacy I'm involved in, and he said, "I can see how that book has affected how you speak." It was so exciting for me to hear people could already tell it's making a difference in how I speak and I'm excited for more people to read this book and grow in how they communicate with those around them.

5.0 out of 5 stars practical, relatable, genuine storytelling and advice for finding and using your voice
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2024
Ashlee Eiland's writing is full of heart and rich language (lots of highlighting in this book!). She provides practical guidance by asking the right questions and telling stories from her own learning and experience. You finish each section with material to think through areas of your own life that may be asking for more (or less) of your voice. So much grace and wisdom here! I look forward to returning to this book in the future and sparking further conversation around the spaces I inhabit and the good I'm meant to say.
