PREFACE
This book has been written out of my belief that the tenets of faith
in Jesus Christ and the gifts of his Holy Spirit， as highlighted
throughout the Bible， represent God s solution for the problems we
men face today. We can only come to a place of rest in our souls
as we grow in faith and begin to truly comprehend that God is able
to \"supply all [our] need according to his riches in glory by Christ
Jesus\" (Phil. 4:19).
These spiritual riches include the promised Holy Spirit whose
aim is to transform us into the likeness of Christ. We see in Scripture
that the Holy Spirit generally helps us grow in faith through the
application of the Christian disciplines in our life such as prayer，
fasting， fellowship， Bible study， and the \"gifts of the Spirit.\"
Spiritual gifts are ways the Holy Spirit may choose to manifest
himself and demonstrate his presence and power in a person s life.
In this regard， I believe that the git~ of speaking in tongues (as a
manifestation) is extremely relevant for Christians today， as I dis-
cuss more fully in chapter 13. Though not for everyone， I have
found that the gift of tongues is one of the means God has of
translating us out of our ordinary way of viewing things and into
an extraordinary appreciation of how the Lord is able to do more
for us than we could ever ask or even imagine (Eph. 3:10). To him
be the glory.
