About the book: Gossip. Lying. Flattery. Crass words.
As we grow in Christian maturity, many of us are aware that we fall frequently into sins of speech. We realize instinctually that these faults are holding us back from the fullness of life.
But what can we do about them?
Training the Tongue and Growing Beyond Sins of Speech (2026) promises to help us attain verbal virtue. As this brief book shows, by cultivating healthy habits, we can effectively crowd out sinful speech and experience the gift of our tongue as God intended. Dynamic preacher and teacher Fr Gregory Pine, OP, directs our attention to the primary purpose of speech - communion with God and each other - and considers a whole range of methods to develop our humanity in service of that end.
Fr Gregory invites us to consider the importance of practices like truth-telling, correction, humour, and prayer within the context of our earthly and heavenly conversations. Enter more whole-heartedly (and freely) into relationships. Harness the power of speech for the good of your soul. And, with Training the Tongue as a delightful guide, reclaim communication as a tool for true communion with God and man alike.

The author of Prudence: Choose Confidently, Live Boldly (2022), he holds a doctorate from the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) and regularly contributes to the podcasts Godsplaining and Pints with Aquinas.
