Synopsis

What are spiritual gifts?Storms has spent several decades teaching on the topic of the spiritual gifts and equipping believers in the faithful practice of God's gifts. Yet there remains a great deal of confusion about the nature of the gifts and how they best function in the body of Christ.In this comprehensive guide to the spiritual gifts, Storms addresses the many bizarre and misleading interpretations while confronting the tendency to downplay the urgency of spiritual gifts for Christian living and ministry. He explains how spiritual gifts--both the more miraculous and the everyday--are given to build up the body of Christ.God has graciously provided these "manifestations of the Spirit" so that believers might encourage, edify, strengthen, instruct, and console one another, all with a view to an ever-increasing, incremental transformation into the image of Jesus Christ. Throughout this guide, Sam Storms unpacks the glorious truth that there is a supernatural and divine energy or power that fills and indwells the body and soul of every Christian believer.Understanding Spiritual Gifts is useful as a reference to address common questions about the gifts, but it also serves as a training manual for using and exercising the gifts in ministry. It is perfect for any individual or group who wants to grow in their understanding of spiritual gifts for today.

Goodreads review by Kirk

Excellent book! Well researched, thought out, and thoroughly biblical. I don’t agree with everything here, but he has persuasive arguments and is kind to those he uses to point out counter-examples. We need more authors like Sam Storms.......more

Goodreads review by Matt

I came to this book as a “cautious continuationist” (or maybe more accurately a “skeptical continuationist”). But after reading this book I’d say I’m now a “questioning continuationist.” The structure of this book is basically 1) arguments for continuationism and 2) an explanation of each of the spi......more

Goodreads review by Hope

This was articulate, logical, and written with a great dose of common sense. Enjoyed this much more than his book on spiritual warfare which seemed to extrapolate from data further than I was comfortable with.......more
