Product Description

Evangelical leaders have long noticed that Jack Hayford's approach to "speaking in tongues" doesn't fit the stereotype. He shuns sensational display, warns against excesses, and is never emotionally overwrought. So what, they ask, does he believe about "spiritual Language"?

In The Beauty of Spiritual Language, Dr. Hayford describes his own experience and explains how he came to validate that experience. In sensible, biblical terms, he describes how tongues speaking is neither gibberish nor emotional exuberance, but rather an intimate encounter with the heart of God.

In a broad appeal that crosses denominational lines, Hayford makes a persuasive case for accepting tongues as a normal part of a Christian's experience. Anyone wanting an objective inquiry into the nature and biblical basis for this gift will appreciate The Beauty of Spiritual Language.

Publisher's Description

There are few other topics on which Christians are so divided. And a large majority of believers are unclear about what spiritual language really means. This is a balanced, biblical approach for anyone wanting to make an honest inquiry into the nature of speaking in tongues. Hayford debunks common myths surrounding the practice of tongues and shares with readers the beauty and the order of spiritual language that he has discovered during his times of private communion with God.

The Beauty of Spiritual Language 4.5 5 4 4

This is the best book I've read on the gift of tongues & prayer language! I highly recommend it. November 26, 2011

A good read. Very helpful and thorough. It cover the subject of speaking in tongues in a thoughtful and caring manner. After reading this, I don't know why anyone would not want to speak in tongues. May 13, 2011

I am so glad Pastor Hayford wrote this awesome & rare book. It not only has Biblical back up & incredible testimonies about why those who have accepted Christ should also invite the fullness of His spirit, but it is a book that can be recommended in confidence to those who are unsure about praying in the spirit because of the integrity of Hayford's ministry & character. Bravo Pastor Hayford! May 1, 2009

Hayford deals with the often controversial gift of "tongues." I found this book to be filled with great, everyday illustrations of the power of praying in a heavenly language. If you are not from a charismatic background, you may struggle with some of Hayford's termonlogy but you can catch on quick. My only drawback from this book is that Hayford does not give a strong biblical reason for his beliefs as outlined in this book. He does deal with a few texts but does not take issue with Pentecostal or Non-Pentecostal theologians. I believe he could have made a stronger argument from Scripture than by experience as Hayford does in this book. March 12, 2001
