Praying in the Spirit

by Robert W. Graves

Is having a prayer language scriptural today? If it s a legitimate gift from God, should I actually ask Him for it? Praying in the Spirit is a book on the New Testament gift of glossolalia.

Robert W. Graves shows the uses of prayer language in devotions, intercession, praise, and worship. Through biblical teaching and straightforward discussion he shows you the powerful effects of praying in the Spirit. He draws upon a wide variety of sources, both charismatic and non-charismatic, representing centuries of Christian thought. And with clarity and insight, he provides answers to the prevalent objections to speaking in tongues.

Praying in the Spirit offers you a deeper understanding of the Person and work of the Holy Spirit that can lead you to more-meaningful worship and ever-deepening fellowship with God the Father.

A scholarly yet readable study

I came to this not sure what to expect but was blown away by the depth of the research alongside the passion of the author for his subject. This book answers every possible question on the thorny topic of tongues, and is, thankfully, Biblically based and extraordinarily well argued. I could not recommend it more!

I always get a bit concerned when someone starts off talking about a "prayer language." While this book, overall, was a good primer for prayer, not everyone speaks in tongues. I think it is well worth one's time to investigate for themselves and not just take my word or the word of another. Read it and determine for yourself. But as I always like the adage, "eat the meat and spit out the bones." We can learn much from everyone else, if we are willing to set aside our biases. I liked the tone of the book and the overall message that was passed on to the reader. Prayer is very important to us and for our spiritual lives! So, do what you can to learn a little bit more to better and bolster your prayer life!
