KNOW WHEN TO SPEAK
JOHN JAMES ABEKAH
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
We live in a world that rewards noise.
Everyone has an opinion.
Everyone reacts quickly.
Everyone feels the need to speak.
But wisdom asks a different question:
Should I speak at all?
In Know When to Speak, John James Abekah explores one of the most overlooked forms of wisdom—the ability to discern when silence is strength and when speech is necessary.
Building on the themes of Speak Well and If Only I Had Responded Differently, this powerful volume completes The Wise Speech Series by focusing on the maturity of discernment: the wisdom of timing, restraint, listening, and courageous truth.
Through biblical insight, practical examples, and reflective guidance, readers will discover:
Why overexplaining weakens authority
How silence can protect relationships and reputation
When truth should be delayed—and when it must be spoken
How listening first sharpens discernment
Why few words often carry the greatest influence
In a culture that celebrates constant expression, this book offers a wiser path: speech that is deliberate, timely, and life-giving.
Because wisdom is not proven by how much you say.
It is revealed by when you speak—and when you don’t.
Speak less.
Mean more.
Choose wisely.
