[Ethan Doucet · Rating 4 out of 5]

Incredibly deep exposition of the Holy Spirit and his gifts to believers while maintaining brevity. Great book!

[Glen · Rating 3 out of 5]

A helpful introductory to spiritual gifts from a Spirit-filled Baptist pastor. Phillips includes several biblical texts to support his main points and he delves into some of the history of resistance to spiritual gifts in the evangelical church by offering examples of how the Holy Spirit moved throughout history.

The writing is highly accessible and pastoral. Definitions of gifts and how to encourage their operation are very succinct, providing the reader with a minimum framework from which to begin studying this important aspect of the spiritual life.
