Endorsements
Many of us cut our eyeteeth on John and Elizabeth Sherrill’s classic They Speak with Other Tongues. As the Holy Spirit fell on the old-line churches in the late 1960s, there were no books, and very few teachers, who could inform and guide us as we tried out our fledgling wings. It’s a joy to see that you are republishing the book so that this and future generations may not lose the impact it had upon us all. God bless the fortieth anniversary edition, and may it prosper today’s generation as it did ours.
John and Paula Sandford, authors and co-founders, Elijah House International
Two things are unquestionable: the timeliness of the impact They Speak with Other Tongues made in the 1960s in the awakening to spiritual renewal that took place in the Body of Christ. And the timelessness of its message, which will speak to you today as it spoke to me then and now.
Jack Hayford, founding pastor, The Church On The Way, and chancellor, The King’s College and Seminary, Van Nuys, CA
Forty years ago a skeptical yet honest reporter set out to investigate a phenomenon. It was new, yet thousands of years old. In the middle of his investigation he found himself inside the story, changed in a way he never expected. That reporter is a good friend of mine. His story became a book that changed literally millions of lives. I’ve visited every country on earth and seen the footprints of the Sherrills’ book in countless lives and churches. Read this book for the first time, or for a fresh touch from the Holy Spirit.
Loren Cunningham, founder, Youth With A Mission
