What would Oliver Sacks have made of a room full of Christians speaking in tongues? That question literally drove the writing of this book — Sacks's books stacked beside my keyboard, his careful empathy, clinical tenderness and radical curiosity my constant reminder. Tongues of Fire: How Charismatic Prayer Changes Evangelical Brains and Inspires Spirit-Filled Activism (Bloomsbury Press) is the result: a book that moves between neuroscience and the prayer circle in search of something a bit like surrender.
Hey folks – please join us in person (or if need be, on zoom) for my Santa Cruz Book Talk.
March 30, 7-8 pm (PST) London Nelson Center
Zoom link registration is at the webpage prayerstudy.com -- go to the blog posts.
But come in person and say hi if you can.
