Summary: A good start....
Review: All Dake-bonoists first learn to speak (or pray) in tongues. Once this is accomplished they learn to "click." Clicking is essentially a form of tongue talking though it is more advanced. Clicking isn't the primary focus of the book. I'm not sure it is even footnoted. Nonetheless the book provides a sound foundation for Dake-Bonoist practices.

Summary: Unique perspective; very rational and thought provoking.
Review: I expected another emotional stream of poor doctrine and touchy-feely arguments about experiences, but this book presents an objective study of the baptism in the Holy Spirit. It is well written as a true adventure throughout the realms of the Church and all its denominations.

Summary: Amazing
Review: I found an original edition of this book in the depths of my college's library and took it home on vacation. I started reading on the way there and could not stop! Well, I had to pause every couple pages to share it with my friend because it was so interesting, but you get the point. I highly recommend this to anyone at all interested in the Holy Spirit and tongues.

Summary: A great book
Review: I LOVED this book; while on vacation, I found myself reading it twice.Sherrill started out where I was; curious about spiritual gifts and attracted to them, but not sure where to start, and unsure about their meaning. It seemed that he had my disposition: questioning but interested. As the story unfolds, it is clear that these gifts are only a gateway to more, the "red door" Sherrill speaks of. I would recommend this book. Even though it was written nearly forty years ago, it has a freshness about it. I recommend this book to anyone interested in spiritual gifts, and interested in the recent history of the Pentacostal and renewal movement.

Summary: WOW
Review: I was going to read this book for myself, but after a few pages I was getting really excited and my non-Christian friend came in, so I told her she had to read the first few pages at least. She read half of the book before she put it down! Amazing. Unbelief in the supernatural power of God is a big stumbling block to the secular mind. This book helps unravel that

Summary: Must read for all born again believers
Review: If any one of us doubt the workings of the Holy Spirit, then you should read this book. It will increase your desire to seek the Holy Spirit and allow Him to take over your life.

Summary: Historical research into the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
Review: John Sherrill did the church a favor when he wrote this book. It began as a research project into the Pentecostal experience of speaking in tongues and became a very personal spiritual journey for Sherrill and for his wife Elizabeth. He provides a logical, rational look at the history of the Pentecostal movement in the United States and provides scriptural evidence of its validity and importance to the church body at large. Read the book if you want to understand some of what God can do in and through people who are willing to trust Him.

Summary: An objective and unoffensive review of Pentacostalism.
Review: John Sherrill does a credible job as he traces the roots of Pentacostalism with particular emphasis on the phenomenon of speaking in tongues. It's an easy read without being simplistic. Although it includes Sherrill's eventual embracing of the Pentacostal movement, he does not seem to lose journalistic objectivity. While much of the material is anecdotal, there is thorough biblical basis and historical fact included. As a mainline religion subcriber, I have been both curious and skeptical about the business of speaking in tongues. This book has satisfied my curiosity and dented my skepticism. The Pentacostal movement is widespread in Christianity. Those who want a full prospective about Christianity today will be well served by reading this book.
