Three questions that are on the minds of all believers at one point are “Is the gift of tongues for today? Does God want me to have this gift? and Should I ask for it? These three questions are what author Robert Henderson asks on the back cover of his book “The Gift of Tongues: What it is, What it isn’t and Why You Need it” I find it interesting that Bill Hamon wrote the forward because Bill Hamon’s book is what I read when I had those exact questions. Robert Henderson’s book starts by answering the question “Why the Debate?”. Robert Henderson continues the book by educating and encouraging readers through scripture and personal experiences. This book is broken into thirteen chapters plus the forward by Bishop Bill Hamon and a Scripture Index at the end of the book. Chapters include: Why the Debate?, The Person of the Holy Spirit, The Baptism of the Holy Spirit, The Filling of the Holy Spirit, New Tongues, A Sign to Unbelievers, A Personal Prayer Language, Partnering with Our Intercessor, Defeating the Three “ads”, Mysteries Unveiled, Giving Thanks, The Interpretation of Tongues, and Proper Protocol.

I recommend this book for everyone interested in the gift of tongues.

Light in a Dark Place: The Doctrine of Scripture by John S. Feinberg is what I would consider deep and inspiring reading. This book is part of the Foundations of Evangelical Theology Series. It surprised me how much could be written about one word. It is insightful to read The author uses scripture to explain light and revelation. This book would be a great reference for any study of the names of God or how the term “light” is all through scripture from Genesis through Revelation. The book is broken up into four parts and a conclusion. Part one is entitled “Creating Scripture”. it discusses light unveiled and light written. Part two is entitled “Characteristics of Scripture”. It discusses true light and divine commanding light, Chapter three is entitled “Setting the Boundaries” it talks about light canonized. Chapter four is entitled “The Usefulness of Scripture”. It talks about Light embraced, clear understandable light, living powerful light, light enough, and enduring light. The conclusion leaves the reader with the argument “Light in a Dark Place, Does it make a difference?

I recommend this book for anyone wanting a deep study on light. It would make a great addition to any theological library.

From the back cover:
You have the authority and mandate to destroy the works of the devil! Satan prowls the earth unleashing his wicked spirits against all who call on the name of Christ. He wants to destroy as many as he can — and take us to hell with him. Now more than ever the Church must rise up and confront the devil head on.
In this handbook of militant prayers, evangelist John Ramirez helps you prepare for and move into advanced combat. He teaches you to open your spiritual eyes, strengthen your position as a warrior, release the thunder of God against the devil, loose God’s blessings and more!
With holy anger you can defeat the enemy’s plans against you, your loved ones and your church. It is time to battle with all your heart.

My review:
The one thing that impressed me about Combat Prayers To Crush The Enemy by John Ramirez is that it is simple. It is full of short prayers that are powerful. Its not overwhelming in content but small sections that could easily be carried throughout the day. Each prayer is partnered with a scripture verse. Combat Prayers To Crush The Enemy by John Ramirez is broken up into 12 chapters plus an introduction and “A Final Word”. Each chapter has a note page, a short one page introduction and then about 10-20 prayers and verses. This is a powerful book that I recommend for all believers wanting to overcome the evil in this present age through Christ.
