[Johnathan Nazarian]

This is great overview of the various spiritual gifts found in the New Testament, coupled with practical application. Bernard gives insight into more than just the typical nine gifts of the spirit that are commonly known (although uncommonly understood), but he also expounds on the various other gifts (I e. Leadership, administration, helps) as well as the gifts to the church, the Five (four) Fold Ministry (apostles, prophets, evangelist, preachers/teachers).

I found it to be an engaging read, more accessible than some of Bernard's more scholarly works, and the personal stories were very moving at times.

[Erma Jean Caston-Goss]

One of my first experiences after receiving the Holy Ghost over 40 years ago in 1983 was that I was given a book by Brother Bernard, "Holiness" by my Pastor, B. H. McCoy. To this very day, Bishop Bernard continues to write books, produce podcasts and rightfully divide the word. This book on spiritual gifts is profoundly down to earth and instructs believers on the matter. He removes the mysticism surrounding the subject and lays a foundation for practicality and exposes the dire need of spiritual gifts in the church today!

[Bruce Dinsman]

Wonderful treatment and guideline for spiritual gifts from the Superintendent of the UPCI and former editor of Word Aflame Press. This and other books are very useful for the situation for my growth as a Christian and an elder in my church.

Eye-opening

This is a great book for those who are seeking to understand the teaching of Apostle Paul about the Gift of the Holy Spirit. David Bernard explained it in a very understandable terms.

[Sara]

David Bernard writes so well and in a way one can digest/comprehend. I love the side notes and personal stories as well as the references back to the Bible for a deeper look.

[Daniel Gutierrez]

It's best when its criticizing certain cessationist presuppositions, it's weakest when proof texting it's own method and view.

[Alexis Poventud]

Practical explanation and examples of the gifts. Loved it.

[Matthew Corbitt]

Solid Read!

[G. Jorge Medina]

A Biblical and practical approach to the operation of the gifts of the Spirit. Very informative with excellent exegesis of relevant texts.
