Gain practical insights into breaking habits of gossip, flattery, verbal retaliation, and people-pleasing in this encouraging and biblical resource on taming your tongue.
The average woman says over 20,000 words a day–not to mention the ones we type online. In this fully updated and expanded edition of Keep It Shut, Karen Ehman–a woman whose words have often landed her in a heap of trouble (you’ll find out more about that in chapter one)–shares the how’s (and how-not-to’s) of dealing with the tongue’s enormous power.
Now with an all-important bonus chapter on how we talk to ourselves as well as a 10-day devotional on watching our words, including an explanation of a different biblical Greek or Hebrew word each day, Keep It Shut will teach you:
*The difference between gossip and properly processing with a trusted friend.
*How to wisely use our digital tongues as we talk online or on social media.
*How to pause before you pounce, attacking the problem but not the person.
*How to avoid saying something permanently painful just because you are temporarily ticked off.
*What the Bible teaches about making our speech laced with grace, as sweet as honey, and yet seasoned with salt
We’ve all said something we wished we could take back as soon as it escaped our lips–whether it’s an angry retort in a marital spat or a white lie that spins out of control. It’s time to start checking ourselves ahead of time instead of regretting our words after the fact.

Keep It Shut
$19.99Keep It Shut by Karen Ehman explores how to better control your tongue, knowing what to say and how to say it, and realizing when it is best to say nothing at all. From Bible times to modern times women have struggled with their words. What to say and how to say it. What not to say. When it is best to remain silent. And what to do when you’ve said something you wish you could now take back. In this book a woman whose mouth has gotten her into loads of trouble shares the hows (and how-not-tos) of dealing with the tongue. Beyond just a “how not to gossip” book, this book explores what the Bible says about the many ways we are to use our words and the times when we are to remain silent. Karen will cover using our speech to interact with friends, co-workers, family, and strangers as well as in the many places we use our words in private, in public, online, and in prayer. Even the words we say silently to ourselves. She will address unsolicited opinion-slinging, speaking the truth in love, not saying words just to people-please, and dealing with our verbal anger. Christian women struggle with their mouths. Even though we know that Scripture has much to say about how we are—and are not—to use our words, this is still an immense issue, causing heartache and strain not only in family relationships, but also in friendships, work, and church settings.
