I Believe In Tongues, But.....

A Whisper Beyond Words

Grace Holloway has always lived in the quiet cadence of her family’s small-town church—singing hymns, reading scripture, and offering gentle counsel to weary souls. Yet when an itinerant preacher ignites a revival in Ravenwood, Grace finds herself swept up in an unexpected whirlwind of emotion. In a dimly lit sanctuary filled with trembling voices and flickering candles, she utters a series of syllables that seem to rise from somewhere deeper than her own mind. The congregation gasps as she speaks in tongues for the first time, and Grace realizes that faith can break the limits of language—and leave behind questions more profound than answers.

Shadows of Doubt and Revelation

In the weeks that follow, Grace grapples with the meaning of her new gift. Skeptical neighbors whisper of hysteria and self-deception, while her closest friends worry that she has lost her grasp on reality. Haunted by dreams of distant lands and unfamiliar dialects, Grace embarks on a journey of discovery: poring over theological texts, confiding in a reclusive linguist, and testing her own voice against the ancient tongues of early apostles. Each night brings vivid memories of that first outpouring—moments when her heart felt lighter than air and her spirit soared beyond mortal constraints.

The Power of the Unspoken

As Grace’s gift ripples through the community, she finds herself at the crossroads of wonder and fear. When tragedy strikes the Holloway family farm, her unearthly speech comforts grieving neighbors, yet also draws the attention of those who would exploit her ability for profit. Torn between retreating into silence and embracing a destiny she never sought, Grace must learn that true faith is not about the volume of words spoken, but the sincerity behind them. In a stirring confrontation beneath a star-drenched sky, she discovers that the most potent prayers are those uttered in the language of the heart.
