There is a lot of material out there regarding the spiritual gifts, some good and some not so good. My goal in writing the book Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts is to bring forward what I feel is the best, biblically based research and teachings on this subject and present it in a way that the ordinary church member, like me, can understand and put to use.

I do not pretend to be an expert on the gifts, nor do I pretend to be some sort of gifted oracle that can name your spiritual gift with the wave of my hand. What I do consider myself is someone with the gift of teaching that includes a combination of both the gift of knowledge and the gift of faith. The discovery and use of your own spiritual gift(s) is a very personal matter between you and God. Only you can discern what gift(s) the Holy Spirit has blessed you with and what you are to do with them. I will do my best to lay before you research, perspective, and insight into the gifts themselves and try to provide you the means to walk with the Holy Spirit on your own.
How is the SGP Different?
I created the Spiritual Gifts Project in an effort to capture knowledge and experiences from people in the discovery and use of their spiritual gifts. Where a lot of material on this subject falls short is when the authors write about gifts they do not personally have. Through this website I hope to gather stories, experiences, wisdom, and knowledge on all of the spiritual gifts and share them through not only this website but also through future versions of my book.

So where do you go from here? First I recommend you read the series of posts titled Unpacking Paul. Here I outline the specific Bible verses concerning the Spiritual Gifts and their meanings. Next, read the post called Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts as I give some direction on how you can discover what gifts you have. Finally, take the Spiritual Gifts Questionnaire which will help you narrow down where the Holy Spirit might be leading you. There are detailed explanations of each gift available for you to review and study on this website.
Most of the material published in my book is available here at no cost to you. My work is something that God has given me to help others and I do not seek to make money using it. I am currently writing the fourth edition of my book which will be published sometime in 2021.
It is my hope and prayer that this work will be a blessing to you and your spiritual walk. I look forward to hearing from you about your gifts and what God has in store for you.
Yours in Christ,
Jeff
