Book Review: “Wisdom on Her Tongue” by Lexy Sauvé – A Breath of Fresh Air for Moms Who Truly Want to Be the Best for Their Families
Let me start by saying: if you’re a mom who goes to bed at night thinking, “I could’ve handled that moment better… I want to lead with love… I just felt so overwhelmed today,” then Wisdom on Her Tongue is for you.
I picked up Lexy Sauvé’s new book expecting a sweet devotional or maybe another solid guide on biblical motherhood. What I found was something more honest, more practical, and surprisingly comforting. This isn’t a book full of unattainable ideals or guilt-driven tips—it’s a real, relatable, grace-filled companion for moms who are truly trying to give their best to the people they love most.
What It’s About
Rooted in Proverbs 31:26 (“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue”), Lexy walks us through what it really looks like to speak with wisdom and kindness in our daily lives—not just the polished moments, but the messy, loud, emotional ones too.
Each chapter speaks into a specific area where our words carry weight: with our children, our husbands, ourselves, and even online. Lexy doesn’t write from a pedestal—she writes from the trenches. She shares where she’s struggled, how Scripture shaped her response, and how we can all keep growing without throwing in the towel.
Why It Hit Home for Me
I’m a mom who genuinely wants to show up well—for my kids, my marriage, my home. I don’t want to just survive the day; I want to create a space where love, peace, and truth live loud. But let’s be real—it’s hard to be gentle when everything feels urgent. This book met me right in that space.
Lexy’s voice is like that wise, funny, spiritually-grounded friend who reminds you that your heart to do better isn’t wasted—even when your words come out wrong. She helps you reframe your tone, your timing, and even your silence to reflect Christ, without adding pressure to perform.
This line stopped me in my tracks:
“Wisdom isn’t loud. She isn’t rushed. She doesn’t need to win. She just needs to reflect the One who gives it.”
Convicting in the best way.
What I Loved
Short, powerful chapters. Each one is easy to read in a short window (perfect for the car line or before bed), but stays with you all day.
Biblical truth without legalism. It’s steeped in Scripture, but it doesn’t feel heavy—it feels freeing.
Hope-filled, not guilt-fueled. It doesn’t make you feel like a bad mom. It makes you feel like growth is possible. Like God is near.
A Note for the Mom Who’s Trying
If you’re a mom who deeply desires to raise your children well, love your husband intentionally, and keep Jesus at the center—even when it feels like you’re falling short—this book is a gift.
You don’t have to read it all at once. Keep it nearby. Highlight. Dog-ear. Read it while you reheat your coffee. It’s the kind of book that gives more than it asks of you.
And maybe most importantly, it reminds you that wisdom isn’t out of reach—it’s available in every moment, even the hard ones.
Final Thoughts
Wisdom on Her Tongue is more than a devotional. It’s a tool, a heart check, and a breath of fresh air. It offers grace, conviction, and direction to the mom who wants to give her best—not just in action, but in her words. It helped me slow down, speak softer, and think more intentionally about the way I’m shaping my home.
If you’re longing to reflect God’s love more clearly through your words—even in the chaos—this book belongs in your hands.
