"Dr. Jerald Daffe and Dr. John Lombard have emerged in the church of God as much needed Pentecostal theologians. Their book on spiritual gifts is scholarly, practical, and has a finger on the pulse of the church."

—Raymond F. Culpepper, General Overseer, Church of God

"At no juncture of modern history has the body of Christ needed a definitive work on the gifts of the Spirit more than right now. I recommend this book to those who are sincerely seeking the truth concerning the work of the Holy Spirit on this earth and what we can expect as Christians when we allow Him to operate in us for the cause of Christ and the propagation of the Gospel."

—Dr. David M. Griffis, Third Assistant General Overseer, Church of God

Daffe and Lombard begin with an elemental question: 'What is a spiritual gift?' They give counsel on how to discern or discover your spiritual gift. They explore the demonstration of spiritual gifts in the lives of select biblical characters. Then, they focus on the primary New Testament texts related to spiritual gifts: Ephesians 4, 1 Corinthians 12, and Romans 12. If you have wondered whether apostles and prophets should be a part of today's church ministry, they have a well-reasoned answer. If you want to know more about the charismatic gifts of prophecy, speaking in tongues, spiritual discernment, healing, wisdom, and so on, they provide a biblical perspective. If you want to better understand God's gifts for the Church's ministry, this book will help you.
