Gossip. Flattery. Harsh words. Lies. Most of us know the sting of speech gone wrong—and the quiet shame of realizing we were the ones who caused it. In Training the Tongue and Growing Beyond Sins of Speech, Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P., beloved Dominican preacher and teacher, offers a clear-eyed, compassionate, and deeply practical guide to reclaiming the gift of language. Rooted in the Catholic virtue tradition, this brief but powerful book shows that verbal holiness is not about silence or stiffness, but about ordering our words toward their highest purpose: communion with God and one another.
