Grace for Service: An Exegetical Theology of the Spirit's Gifts for Ministry

Grace for Service is a thoroughly researched, biblically grounded, personally transformational study of the Holy Spirit's enabling grace for ministry designed to equip leaders who guide the church in its stewardship of God's gifts and to enrich the understanding of Christians who want to go deeper in this important subject. This book serves up an exceptionally broad buffet of historical, biblical, and theological information to help the reader engage the many questions associated with ""spiritual gifts."" In the process it offers a fresh perspective that transcends typical find-and-use-your-gift teaching and moves beyond the long-standing battles over miraculous gifts. It calls the follower of Jesus to view all dimensions of life through the lens of the Spirit's gracious equipping and enabling work. Grace for Service is a must-have resource for anyone who teaches about the Spirit's gifts in church and school settings and an essential read for believers who are passionate about the topic but dissatisfied with what they currently know.
