Jack Hayford’s approach to speaking in tongues doesn’t fit the stereotype. People often think speaking in tongues is either gibberish or emotional exuberance. They think it is strange, dramatic, or sometimes excessive. Even among Spirit-filled communities, there is disagreement over the importance of tongues. Pastor Jack makes a persuasive case for accepting tongues as a normal part of a Christian’s experience. In sensible, biblical terms he reaches across denominational lines to explain this intimate encounter with the heart of God. This revised and expanded edition includes 14 never-before published lessons from Pastor Jack.
