What an eye-opener

This book was a huge learning for me! I understand myself and my gifts more fully and I am using it daily in my coaching practice! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

Good for Research

I found that this book wrote more on the indiviual gifts than most commentaries and theologies that I've read

Excellent, insightful and applicable.

Ever read a book of this type that just drones on and you say to yourself, "just get to your point!" Well, this one makes the point without being wordy. It's great to use for busy adults who want something thought provoking with great scripture referance. It's great for adult Bible Studies for folks that don't have alot of time for homework or prep but want to grow spiritually and be challanged on what was thought to be their Spiritual Gift(s). Only negative is that this rewrite from the original (1970's)could have updated some of the examples that adults under age 40 may not be familiar with.

I loved this commentary!

Dr. Flynn does a great job of breaking down a large subject that can be difficult to understand. Unlike many commentaries, this one is straight forward, with illustrative stories. It is biblically sound and the women in my Bible study have found it very helpful in furthering their understanding (as well as mine) of spiritual gifts in general, as well as which gifts they possess. I highly recommend this book!

The Classic on Spiritual Gifts

I read this book when it first came out in the 1970s and recently got the updated version. I have always found it helpful, but wish Flynn had not limited himself to 19 gifts (what about the gifts of intercession, creativity and craftsmanship?). The book is very helpful for the gifts it does cover, though.
