Artscroll is like, my favorite publisher ever! But I always feel like I'm doing something improper when I read them since I rarely read the ones meant for women. I wasn't really looking for a daily study thing, but I wanted a more digestible / easy to carry around with me Chofetz Chaim. I like this one but it's a bit annoying to have to flip to the back for three sentences on every daily lesson. I also feel like the "l'toeles" rules should be somewhere easier to find, and I personally do not have use for the shidduchim focus (though I do find it interesting).

Actually read Machaneh Yisrael but couldn't find the version on goodreads. The Chafetz Chaim is a wonderfully intelligent man with a passion of Jewish Ethics. However, Machaneh Yisrael was a bit too harsh in language and could have benefitted from Chasidic teachings. I would recommend it for Draftees!

This book is a must for the person trying to improve himself. This read makes you think about what you say and holds you accountable for your words. You might never know how negative you are until you begin to truly examine what comes out of your mouth about yourself, others, and situations.

A must read.

Just completed learning with my Partner in Torah. A good presentation, with a nice balance of basic halacha and explanation/example.

Reading this book really makes you aware of your words and conversations. Making its reading a habit provides daily reminders of the power our speech has.
