description: Keep It Shutby 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 youve 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 areand are notto 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.
