What's So Spiritual about Your Gifts? (LifeChange Books) Kindle Edition

The Old Testament is our "kindergarten" for understanding the pattern of the Holy Spirit's gifting and work. That pattern is this: God gives an assignment to a person; then the Holy Spirit is given to equip him or her for the assignment. The proof of the Spirit's presence is that the person is able to complete the assignment effectively through the supernatural enabling of the Holy Spirit. Truly understood and embraced, the Holy Spirit's gifts allow the Church to be Christ-centered, to maintain unity and oneness of heart, and to practice genuine, powerful love.

WHAT EXACTLY HAVE YOU BEEN GIVEN?

Surprises are in store when we explore biblically what spiritual gifts really are, how they fit with our natural strengths and talents, and how they match our calling and assignments from God. This book will help restore the Holy Spirit to the center of your understanding and practice of spiritual gifts, and set you free to serve God as never before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, concise, and biblical
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2010

The authors present the most succinct and biblical presentation of spiritual gifts I have ever found. Their thesis is that the "gift" of the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit himself. The various manifestations of what are often viewed as spiritual gifts are simply the products of the Holy Spirit's work through the life of a believer who is serving God in harmony with His will. The authors argue that spiritual gift inventories are unreliable. They insist that there is no spiritual gift in the life of any person who has not yielded his/her life to God. The book contains seven short chapters, can be read in one sitting, and can change expectations about what God can do in the lives of committed believes.

I enjoyed this book immensely. I especially liked the fact that Blackaby makes his point quickly, backs it up rapidly and then ends the book. There are so many books out there that could be this short if the author, or the publisher, didn't feel it was necessary to fluff the points with endless stories and other filler. Don't let the shortness of this book fool you though. The idea that Blackaby develops in this book is not on different, but massively so. He goes against the prevailing wisdom about spiritual gifts that has become so caught up with personality tests over the last few decades that it is hard to tell where Myers-Briggs leaves off and the Holy Spirit begins. The concept that the Spirit is the gift we receive, not the particular gifts is spot on if you ask me. Thank you Mr. Blackaby for your insight. Get this book and read it.

Very profound. Redirected my thought process outward rather than myself. With the holy Spirit all things are possible. Amen. The end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2012

This little book is packed with amazing information on the gift of the Holy Spirit. All too often we focus on what "we" can do for God, rather than what God wants to do through us. I am currently using this book along with the companion workbook to teach a men & women's Bible study. It has created fabulous discussions as we all learn to refocus on being God-centered rather than on being self-centered. I have enjoyed reading and considering Blackaby's Biblical teachings so much that I'm planning to buy several copies to give as gifts.

Straight truth about your walk with the Lord. If it's not in obedience, as this book points out, then he is not your Lord. Savior maybe, but not Lord. Thankfully, this book helps you get there.
