Find sound biblical answers to these questions and several others in The Controversy of Tongues. Learn the truth about Holy Spirit baptism as taught in the Bible. Affirm your convictions with sound footing in the Word of God, so that you can confidently respond to anyone who has objections to what the Bible really says about the subject of speaking in tongues.

Review

The book is written in defense of the validity of "Speaking in Tongues" as an important aspect of the ministry of the Holy Spirit, predicted by the Old Testament prophet Joel (Joel 2: 28-29).
I highly recommend this book to any follower of Christ who has been told that speaking in tongues was meant for the early church and has therefore ceased to operate in the Church today.

Even though Cyril Opoku does not describe himself as an apologist, he has effectively laid out the case for the Holy Spirit Baptism, speaking in tongues, and the gifts of the Spirit. He did not do so with exquisite literary skills or exceptional logical reasoning. Rather, he provided answers to the doubters and critics from the scriptures, and by comparing scriptures to scriptures.
