When to Speak Up and When to Shut Up by Dr. Michael D. Sedler is another self-help freebie, courtesy of Christian publisher Baker's Revell imprint, which I'm really starting to think are doing some sort of Christmas countdown/Advent calendar of offerings, given their blink-and-you-miss-it nearly daily freebies of late.
Although I do wonder what it says that their offerings have nearly all been either holiday-themed heartwarming redemption stories or how-to-cope-with-a-life-gone-in-a-direction-you-don't-like-in-a-biblically-inspired-fashion DIY advice books. Though maybe the dichotomy best reflects the spirit of the season?
Anyway, currently free @
Amazon UK, will no doubt show up at the
main store (you should know what this link is for, by now) and elsewhere for a few brief hours before it disappears like Santa's milk and cookies eloping up a chimney.

Almost everyone has found themselves in a situation where they don't know if they should bite their tongue or speak their mind. When is silence golden and when is it better to speak up?
