Dynamics of Spiritual Gifts Paperback - 1983

First line

After hearing a superb performance on the organ one Sunday morning, a church member remarked, "My John has a great gift" While discussing the subject of gifts at a recent seminar, a lady asserted, "My gift is baking cherry pies" To say the least, such statements indicate a total ignorance of our subject.

From the rear cover

Our churches have hardly begun to tap the potential in the pews. Many Christians have settled for far less than God intends because many have never discovered or developed their spiritual gifts. 'An understanding of Ephesians 4:11-16 has changed my entire perspective on my Christian service. I discovered that one of my highest priorities must be equipping the saints for their work of service. Pursuing this objective I have made a second discovery. Exceedingly few believers are conscious of possessing a spiritual gift, and even fewer know what their gift is or what to do about it. My third discovery is that few things can be of greater assistance to a Christian in setting his own priorities or discerning the will of God than knowing his own gift. These are the discoveries that have motivated me to prepare this book, ' says the author. Included are chapters on: - The Definition of a Gift - The Distribution of the Gifts - A Description of the Gifts - The Distinctions Within the Gifts.
