"""Timothy nailed it! This book is approachable, understandable, and a wonderful teaching tool for those desiring to know more about the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. Open the book, open your heart, and prepare to both learn and experience!"" --Rod Loy, author of Three Questions: A Powerful Grid to Help You Live by the Grace of God ""Laurito has put forth a doctrinal presentation of the baptism of the Holy Ghost that is historically accurate, biblically aligned, and spiritually refreshing. Whether or not you have experienced the phenomenon of speaking in tongues, this book will provide an insightful appeal to what it truly means to be Spirit baptized."" --Ryan E. Ralston, President, Heritage Bible College ""Speaking in Tongues is a truly unique work. While it addresses many of the standard questions related to this phenomenon, Laurito takes the issue well beyond these. His major focus is to help readers determine where they are in their own understanding of the Spirit's work and then lead them into informed personal and spiritual development and practical involvement."" --John W. Wyckoff, Professor of Bible and Theology, Southwestern Assemblies of God University ""As one who works with college and seminary students who are preparing to be Pentecostal ministers and missionaries, I welcome Laurito's multidisciplinary apologetic of speaking in tongues. The emerging generation asks so many questions: Why should I be Pentecostal? What does the Bible teach? What difference does speaking in tongues make in life and ministry? Speaking in Tongues is an excellent tool for those who labor to answer the questions and defend the purpose, function, and benefit of speaking in tongues."" --David Arnett, President, Northpoint Bible College & Graduate School"
