SECOND & EXPANDED EDITION
This book has changed lives in the U.S. and in many nations where the author has ministered. The testimonies have been rolling in...for those who have never spoken in tongues - receiving it for the first time; for those who have not experienced or understood the fullness or specifics of this powerful gift - becoming free and confident on its parameters and usefulness. Many leaders even use this as a textbook for the training of their congregations.

Each chapter answers a burning question that many Christians have about speaking in tongues.

This is the perfect book for both the theological skeptic and the longtime practitioner. Half of the book is dedicated to providing a sound, working theology that addresses every barrier to the receiving and the necessity of the gift. The other half is revelatory teaching that brings depth and faith to the operation of this gift that will reignite a fire in your spirit to reinstitute the importance of its consistent, biblical use. This is a prophetic season in which the Lord is once again highlighting the necessity of the gift of tongues in his Body. Within this book is everything you need to know about the spiritual gift of Speaking in Tongues and its place in the church, ministry, and a Kingdom lifestyle, along with many revelations that you've probably never heard before.
