They Speak with Other Tongues: A Skeptic Investigates This Life-Changing Gift

by John Sherrill, Brother Andrew (Foreword by)

Overview

More than fifty years ago, a reporter for Guideposts magazine set out to gather information about a strange new occurrence happening all over the country. John Sherrill, a skeptic when it came to speaking in tongues and the baptism with the Holy Spirit, was determined to retain his objectivity while digging out the facts. What he found would change his life.

With more than 2.5 million copies sold, this classic work is the story of one man's journey from skepticism to a life-changing relationship with God. Filled with historical and biblical accounts of speaking in tongues, this is also the deeply personal and moving story of how you, too, can walk in the power of the Spirit day by day.

Now includes a new epilogue and update on how to lean on the Holy Spirit for unity in an increasingly divisive world.
