How many times have you thought or heard, "I should have kept my mouth shut!" or "Why didn't I say something?" Keeping silent may be cowardly, or it may be wise. Speaking up may be brash and ill-advised, or it may be loving, compassionate, even life-saving. Michael Sedler's book addresses the universal but rarely addressed problem of discerning which is which. When to Speak Up (and When Not To) offers practical guidelines for regret-free conversations and helps readers explore their motives and habits when talking to friends, family, and authorities. They will discover the cost and purpose of silence, learn how to ask good questions, find ways to deal with anger, and more. Using biblical examples from Adam to Jesus and Paul, the book shares important strategies for hearing God's direction and acting on his Word rather than on our own understanding. Through examples of contemporary figures who changed history by discerning when to speak, as well as through Sedler's own experiences, readers will develop better communication within the home, church, and workplace-and spend less time pondering the "should haves" and "whys."
