Tongues: The Language of the Holy Spirit

By Mark Spitsbergen

Study tongues in Scripture and their place in prayer, worship, and spiritual growth.

Inside the book

This study begins with Pentecost and follows the place of tongues in the life of the Church. It considers the relationship between the outpouring of the Spirit, prayer, and the believer’s continuing fellowship with God.

Read an excerpt

Tongues, which is the language of the Holy Spirit, finds its supreme position as the sign and wonder that was used by God to introduce the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Yet, it is more than that, because so much of what God promised to do in the New Covenant was realized on the day of Pentecost.
