Books Keep It Shut: What to Say, How to Say It, and When to Say Nothing at All  by Karen Ehman (Author)

"Keep It Shut: What to Say, How to Say It, and When to Say Nothing at All" by Karen Ehman is a Christian-focused guide on effective communication and the power of words. The book emphasizes the importance of controlling one's tongue, knowing when to speak, what to say, and when silence is the best course of action.

Ehman shares personal stories, biblical examples, and practical advice to help women (and men) improve their speech in various settings—public, private, online, and in prayer. Key themes include avoiding gossip, speaking with grace and love, handling conflict with kindness, and understanding when silence speaks louder than words. She encourages self-examination of motives for speaking and listening actively before responding.
