Book Description
Foundational Teaching from a Charismatic Healing Minister and a Catholic Scholar International healing minister Randy Clark teams up with Mary Healy, a respected Catholic scholar, to show not only that the gifts of the Spirit still exist today, but that they are not optional; they are the necessary tools God has given for both building his Church and spreading the Gospel. With wisdom and practical insight, Clark and Healy walk you through biblical texts, dispel misconceptions, and show that there is an endless variety of gifts. They also show how the gifts are not just for a select few, but distributed freely by the Holy Spirit among believers. After laying this foundation, the authors reveal how you can activate the gifts in your own life and use them to benefit others. In this hurting world, you can give people more than just a message--you can help usher them into an encounter with God.

Book Description
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.

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.

Pages : 204

Book Description
In his new book, Mark Stibbe reminds us that we have a loving, generous Father who delights to give his children gifts, especially the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Mark describes each of the spiritual gifts mentioned in the New Testament and provides tools for the reader to identify which gifts they have. He also urges the contemporary church not to dial down on the spiritual gifts but to create a culture where all the gifts are eagerly welcomed and responsibly stewarded. This book is a vital rallying cry for a return to genuine, charismatic Christianity at a time when so many Christians and indeed churches have lost their passion for the presence of God and for the supernatural evidences of God's presence in worship and mission.
