Excelent on many levels

This book is an excellent treatment of the topic of the Baptism Of The Holy Spirt, with a special focus on tongues. It covers the scriptural basis as well as the authors own experience. One of the best books I've ever read, it's smooth and engaging while at the same time being hugely informative. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Pentecostal theology and history as well as as anyone who doesn't believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirt or that tongues are for today.I was greatly skeptical when I was a new believer, regarding The Baptism of The Holy Spirit, I thought perhaps it was totally our right bananas, I was down right hostile to the idea. I only wish I had read this book sooner to save myself the time I spent doubting.You can almost read it in one sitting it's so good, that is if you can stay sitting while you read it! I would have liked to have seen the scriptures printed in-line with the text rather than referenced by number to the index in the back however that would effect the amazing flow of the book.

Amazing

I found an original edition of this book in the depths of my college's library and took it home on vacation. I started reading on the way there and could not stop! Well, I had to pause every couple pages to share it with my friend because it was so interesting, but you get the point. I highly recommend this to anyone at all interested in the Holy Spirit and tongues.

A great book

I LOVED this book; while on vacation, I found myself reading it twice.Sherrill started out where I was; curious about spiritual gifts and attracted to them, but not sure where to start, and unsure about their meaning. It seemed that he had my disposition: questioning but interested. As the story unfolds, it is clear that these gifts are only a gateway to more, the "red door" Sherrill speaks of.I would recommend this book. Even though it was written nearly forty years ago, it has a freshness about it. I recommend this book to anyone interested in spiritual gifts, and interested in the recent history of the Pentacostal and renewal movement.

WOW

I was going to read this book for myself, but after a few pages I was getting really excited and my non-Christian friend came in, so I told her she had to read the first few pages at least. She read half of the book before she put it down! Amazing. Unbelief in the supernatural power of God is a big stumbling block to the secular mind. This book helps unravel that

A "Must Read!" for every believer.

This book is one of the best books I have ever read to lead one to the Holy Spirit. I personally have purchased 20 to 30 copies over the years and gave them to friends who have questions on the Holy Spirit and the phenomena of "Speaking in Tongues". The author, seeking answers, searches to find what the phenomena, Speaking in Tongues, is all about. The journey takes you through an adventure to finding the 3rd part of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. This literary work of art grips your heart as you realize the author is asking the questions that you have always asked. It is not a theologically dry work but one that keeps you wondering what is next. Enjoyment is a must in my reading and I truly enjoyed this one. I continue to enjoy it also because I've read it many times.
