- "[By] Charles Alexander".
- Includes bibliographical references.
- "The thesis of this book unashamedly proposes that (a) the tools Jesus gave to the apostolic Church are the same for today, (b) speaking in tongues is a key that opens the 'tool-box' of the supernatural possibilities of God, both for the individual and the community of the Church, (c) where the tools of the Spirit are in evidence in the local congregation, the structures are being renewed in order to facilitate the ministry of Christ's commission, (d) the dimensions of Christ's commission give the Church a heritage that is catholic, charismatic, and evangelical in nature". -- pp. 11-12.
