Prayer: The Language of the Spirit
The Language Of The Spirit is a short and poignant book that helps lay a foundation from the Word for knowing and walking with God. Each chapter directs the earnest believer into possessing a life of communion with God and praying without ceasing. Prayer is walking with God. It is habitual fellowship with God. You can walk so close to God that you feel like you’re in heaven. The key that will move you toward this richness of communion with Him is to not only know the Word but to cultivate a receptivity and sensitivity to His Spirit and presence. You can experience this kind of life in God if you will pursue Him. It all begins with receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit and praying extensively in other tongues. This is the language of the Spirit.

I believe God has called me to be in prayer. Having read many books on the subject, I continue to look for refreshment and expertise from Masters.
Sadly, this is not one of those books. It gives lip service to praying, meditation, and even fasting - but it keeps cycling back to its primary purpose. This is a propaganda exercise advocating speaking in tongues. The author advances that one has not truly prayed in the fullest until they have prayed in tongues. He even broadly, and I mean b-r-o-a-d-l-y, paraphrases scripture, so that almost any Bible verse you quote supports his claims.
I was going to offer some arguments for why what he claims has been rejected by the majority of practicing Christians. But since this is a book review and not a debate, instead I just invite you to do a Google search to be exposed to the historical, scholarly, and theological reasons why most Christians do not believe tongues advances the Kingdom of God.
I cannot recommend this book for any believer who wishes to advance his/her prayer life. If however you would like to expose yourself to fringe theology, this is an easy, light reading in which you might delve.
