5.0 out of 5 stars Every one needs to read this book-- pick it up now!, September 20, 2000

Don & Katie Fortune's book, "Discovering Your God-Given Gifts" is a tremendous asset in the library of every spiritual seeker, server and leader.

There are a lot of "gift" books out there and as a teacher, I probably have all of them in our library. This one is great because it presents a clear case for how different lists of gifts serve their unique purpose in corporate worship and life. It is easy to understand and share with others-- you'll want to go through it together in your Bible study group.

All of us wonder from time to time where we fit in when it comes to ministry gifts and service. The Fortunes have hit it on the head when it comes to helping us identify our motivational gifts.

This book is especially useful for ministry teams, small groups and any setting where a variety of people have to relate or serve together. The very first benefit of reading it, is the insight you'll gain to seeing how each of us in our gifts are needed to work together in balance.

Of course, the thing you will love about this are the surveys included that help you determine your primary and secondary motivational gifting. I also recommend that you order directly from the Fortunes several of the supplemental tests that can be used with children, secular audiences etc.

You'll love it. I give it my highest recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the BEST sources for learning about spiritual gifts, March 19, 1999

By 

Jane Younce (Cicero, IN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Discover Your God Given Gifts (Paperback)

After taking a class on spiritual gifts at my church, I was still longing for more information and purchased this book. This is the BEST information I have seen so far on the subject of spiritual gifts. It is easy, concise and truly helps you find your spiritual "niche" in life. Since purchasing this book, I have read other material, but Don and Katie REALLY know how to explain the gifts and their tests are much better than those I've seen. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that is confused about spiritual gifts or wants more information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Discover who you and others are, March 10, 1999

This review is from: Discover Your God Given Gifts (Paperback)

This is the best resourse and discovery book on the subject! I have been using it as a teaching tool for about 6 years. I have seen in others and also recieved great insight, healing and encouragement from the teaching and discovery.

There is a test to help you discover your gifts and teaching. Everytime I read it again, I receive encouragement and healing.

Some questions I feel the book addresses are: 1. Why do I think and respond the way I do? 2. Why do THEY think and respond the way they do? 3. What did God give to me and how do I use it? 4. How can I understand and work better with others? 5. What are some example of bible character with these gifts? 6. What careers might fit me better?

Well, there is much more. Of all the books on my shelf on this subject, I feel this is the most helpful. I am very passionate about this book and I read it often. Read it and share it with a friend!
