Holy Shift: For People Who Love Jesus… but Cuss A Little. A Lot.
Holy For People Who Love Jesus… but Cuss A Little. A Lot.
Real help for real people learning to clean up their language.
Ever stub your toe and yell something... not-so-Jesus-y? You’re not alone.
This isn’t your typical Christian self-help book. Holy Shift is part hilarious guide, part heart check, and all grace. Written by a chef-turned-believer who’s dropped more pans (and f-bombs) than he can count, this book is for anyone who loves Jesus but still lets a few four-letter words fly.
Whether your faith is brand new or you’ve been walking with God for years, cleaning up your language can feel awkward, fake, or downright impossible. This book gets it and gives you something better.
Inside, you’ll
Why we cuss ( it’s more psychology than rebellion)
How to break the habit without sounding cheesy or weird
What the Bible actually says about our words (and what it doesn’t)
Real strategies to pause, pray, and pivot when you’re about to lose it
Grace for when you totally mess up anyway
The A–Z Guide of Sanctified Substitutes — a hilarious and helpful list of swear-free phrases from “Ah, biscuits!” to “Zucchini!” so you’re never left speechless (even when you stub a toe on a Lego at 6 a.m.).
Perfect for parents, former sailors, current chefs, recovering hotheads, and everyday Christians who want their language to match their faith, without losing their personality in the process.
You don’t need a halo to make a holy shift. Just a little self-awareness, a sense of humor, and maybe a few favorite food-themed phrases in your back pocket.
Let’s laugh, learn, and start speaking like the person we’re becoming. One holy shift at a time.

This is a #@$^ good book!!!
Holy Shift: For People Who Love Jesus… but Cuss A Little. A Lot. by Buz Deliere is a good book that provides wisdom and practical solutions for daily life. As a Christian, our words sometimes don’t reflect the new life we strive to live. It's not always easy to resist the urge to cuss, but foul language creates an unfavorable image, is damaging to relationships, and goes hand-in-hand with a negative attitude. Buz Deliere has written a book that explains why use foul language and how we can learn to tame our tongues.
Deliere writes in an easy to read, conversational style. He often uses familiar pop culture references in his illustrations such as, “This isn’t about becoming Ned Flanders with a thesaurus.” You will appreciate the author’s Christian-based approach to using thoughtful speech. The book is grounded in the Word of God. A highpoint is the author’s teaching that speaking with self-control isn’t weakness. In fact, it may be one of the strongest thig you ever do.
Overall, I strongly recommend this book. It is packed with practical exercises and tip, as well as thoughtful reflections to help you cuss less.
