  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 Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)

  $22.99

  Have you ever said something you wished you could take back? Are you ever unsure when to hold your tongue and when to speak out?

  In this six-session video study (video access included), Karen Ehman–who readily admits that her mouth has gotten her into loads of trouble–shares the hows (and how-not-tos) of dealing with the tongue.

  Far more than a “how not to gossip” study, this video-based small group Bible study will challenge you to dig deep into what the Bible says about the ways we use our words–both in person and online–and when we should just keep our lips zipped.

  This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:

  *The study guide itself–with discussion and personal reflection questions, video notes, and Scripture exercises.

  *An individual access code to stream all six video sessions online (DVD also available separately).
