About this listen

In the style of The Screwtape Letters, with a satire that will make you both cringe and laugh–out–loud, Natalie Brand demonstrates the havoc unleashed by careless words.

Scuttlebutt (naval slang for the ship’s gossip) is the affectionate nickname given to the Tongue by the Heart, as he reprimands the Tongue for steering the whole person into catastrophe; enjoying morsels of gossip, creating smokescreens of lies. From the Bible’s teaching on speech, particularly the Proverbs, the reader will taste the bitter destruction of the Tongue.

But as the Heart rebukes the Tongue it becomes increasingly clear that something isn’t right … there is another villain, a deeper poison, lurking within. What can be done if the Tongue remains untameable? Will the Heart get away with his hypocrisy? Is there redemption for either?

An immensely challenging little book for anyone with a tongue … or a heart!

Could there be a more relevant or accessible subject for the Christian than the subject of taming the tongue? Like its subject matter this book is small but powerful! It delivers a clever yet simple message with substantial biblical reference and truth. Scuttlebutt is delivered in a deliciously lively and witty satire, making it an easy to read favourite.

A Lively and challenging book with substantial biblical content!
