This review is from: What You Do Best in the Body of Christ: Discover Your Spiritual Gifts, Personal Style, and God-Given Passion (Paperback)

This is a good book to introduce you to spiritual gifts. It has an invaluable discussion of the components that come together to create how you should express your gifts (such as, personal style, passion, seasons of your life, etc.). However, the biggest drawback to this book is it doesn't help you actually identify your gifts. I finished this book still not knowing what my gifts are but did feel I better understand gifts in general.
