The Gift of Tongues is a concise reference to one of the most mysterious practices of the Christian faith. The definition, description, and uses of tongues are each explained, giving biblical references. The author covers various views on the gift of tongues and briefly discusses the Cessation Theory. Topics include: the purposes of tongues, use of tongues in church and in private, the nature and value of tongues to the church and to the individual, and how to revive a church in which the gifts have dwindled.

More than a Bible study - The Gift of Tongues gives practical and personal guidance, answering many of the questions that frequently go unasked.

Excerpt: [Author's Note: Teaching a class on the gifts of the Spirit for the last 11 years has convinced me that the gift of tongues is one of the most emotionally charged subjects in the Bible. My classes on the gifts are always robust with questions and comments - and occasional funny looks - and blank stares. But I am nonetheless persuaded that the spiritual gifts mentioned by name in the Bible belong to the body of foundational truths. Truths that every Christian needs to understand.

One of my favorite ice breakers at the beginning of a new session is to ask a series of “Would it be biblical?” questions. Seldom do the students get these questions right. Usually, it becomes obvious right away that most of students in the class haven't studied the Bible's full counsel on tongues for themselves. Many of the students do however already have some bias as to whether tongues are truly holy or not.]
