Product Description
Product Description
What to say and how to say it. What not to say. When it's best to remain silent. What to do when you've said something you wish you could take back. . . In this study, you'll take a personal tour through the hows (and how-not-tos) of dealing with the tongue.
The Bible has a lot to say about the tongue and what kind of power it has. James tells us that it can corrupt the whole body and that it can't be tamed. The book of Proverbs claims that "death and life are in the power of the tongue."
This 6-session video Bible study (guide sold separately) is designed to offer hope for all of us who struggle with the way we've used our words and practical wisdom for getting our tongues under control. Biblical, encouraging, and kind, New York Times bestselling author Karen Ehman will help you:
- Learn the essential practice of using our words (and our mannerisms!) more constructively.
- Understand what God has to say about our tongues by studying verses and figures from Scripture.
- Discern what far-reaching effects our speech has—whether it's in private, in public, online, or in prayer.
- Gain practical insights into breaking habits of gossip, flattery, verbal retaliation, and people-pleasing.
Most of us have been affected by the heartache and injury that words can cause, not only in family relationships, but also in friendships, work, and church settings. This is your guidebook to fully realizing the power of the tongue and how to use your words in the service of truth and love.
Sessions and run-times include:
- Sparks, Squabbles, Spats, and Such: Our Words Matter (19:00)
- On Filling Gaps and Zipping Lips: Listen to Others, Talk to God (18:00)
- Opinion-Slinging and Salty Speech: Assessing Our Digital Tongues (22:00)
- Gossip, Flattery, and People-Pleasing: How to Speak the Truth in Love (22:00)
- Pause Before You Pounce: On Cultivating Soft Speech (23:00)
- As Sweet as Honey: Wonderful Ways to Use Your Words (23:00)
Designed for use with the Keep It Shut Study Guide 9780310819400 (sold separately).

- Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2017The women's study group I lead has enjoyed this book tremendously! In fact just today, we finished the 4th session in the book and someone asked if we could just start it over when we complete it. Every chapter provides insight and useful information that has changed the way we think about how we use our words. I highly recommend the study.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2015I bought this study to go with my Sunday School Class, and it hit home, Finding out what is thoughtless and hurtful to another is a blessing to me in many ways. Reading and obeying God's Word daily is the Key for keeping the mouth in check. This subject is a good subject for the Church.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2015This DVD compliments the book, Keep It Shut. Karen Ehman provides her insight on how to say it, what to say and when to say nothing at all through her experiences and Gods Word and instructions to us. It's truthful, funny and a book I personally will pick back up for refreshers, when I need a reminder!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2019Great advice from the bible and teacher on when, how and if you should keep your mouths shut in life.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2017I got this to work through with a friend because we study the Bible together frequently. For such an important topic, I suppose I was expecting something deeper. There's nothing "wrong" with this study, and it has provoked some excellent conversation with my friend and some really productive examination of conscience. It also made US want to come up with challenges for ourselves related to speech and holding our tongues, and doing that each week (ex. Go an entire day without cursing in the car, ex. Go an entire week without speaking a single negative word out loud concerning [specific person usually complained over]). These challenges were something the study made us feel led to assign ourselves and work with...but it would have been nice if the study actually had such prompts FOR the small groups. It didn't.
The video lessons are good, and Mrs. Ehman is personable, but I really felt (and my friend agreed) that the lessons lack depth. They're super light lessons revolving around cute and breathlessly delivered personal stories, and I'm finding that is very typical of "women's" bible studies. The Scripture reading is very Proverbs heavy, one verse at a time. That's not ALL there is, but we both felt it was more of a personal self-help feel than a serious "time in the Word" feel. We had to make up challenges and reading exercises ourselves to really push this into something worthy of six solid weeks.
I feel terrible criticizing a bible study. The Bible has clearly been a passion for Mrs. Ehman, and she no doubt worked hard writing the study and the book, and God bless her for that. My friend and I simply didn't get the depth from it that we both feel convicted and convinced that we NEED in our lives following Christ.
The only other "complaint" is that the study guide requires reading the "book" as well. So, you have to read the book, watch the DVDs, AND use the study guide. We used the study guide and DVDs without the book (and maybe that's why the depth we wanted was missing...totally possible), but given the tone and level of the lessons and study guide, I don't have reason to think the book goes any deeper. We looked at the book and it appears to be more of the same: personal anecdotes used to highlight individual points. We got those without needing further elaboration from the lessons and the study guide work.
All of this said, I have to applaud Mrs. Ehman for tackling SUCH an important problem in Christian (and just human in general) behavior. It's not a topic to be taken lightly. The damage we can do with our words is talked about at length in the Bible, and it is something we should all be examining and constantly working to improve. We sin with our words as often as we sin with anything else, and for women who use a lot of words every day, "Keep In Shut" will have something useful in it for you.
We don't regret choosing this study, and I don't want to come across as someone just trying to trash this guide. It wasn't bad. It just wasn't as good or as thorough as we hoped it would be.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2017I had high hopes for this study when I ordered it. Karen Ehman tried but fell short. Some of her comments in the second lesson were inappropriate and I was too embarrassed to show the third video presentation to my Bible Study Group at Church because of an inappropriate story she tells. I realize that this study was written primarily for a female audience. However, the women in my Bible Study all agreed that her voice really got on their nerves. This study was good at defining the problem from a Biblical perspective but offered very little in terms of a Biblical solution. I had to do a lot of extra work to fill in the gaping deficiencies of this study. Maybe giving it two stars was too generous. I can't believe Zondervan agreed to release this. Pay attention Zondervan because your reputation really took a hit on this one!!!
