The gifts of the Holy Spirit are God’s answer to the darkness of our time, able to convince even the most broken and hardened of hearts that God is real, present and active in our lives. And as the Holy Spirit pours out His gifts among believers, He is uniting Christians of every denomination as one Body.
With wisdom and practical insight, international healing minister Randy Clark reams up with acclaimed Catholic Bible scholar Mary Healy to show that the gifts of the Spirit are for all believers. The authors walk you through biblical texts, dispel misconceptions and show the endless variety of gifts. And they reveal how you can activate the gifts in your own life and use them to benefit others.

Endorsements:
This book will revive your expectation for God to work through you. You will also witness the power of the Holy Spirit to bring Catholics and Protestants together to speak with one voice. Healy and Clark are an example of unity in the Body of Christ, proclaiming Jesus as Lord in the power of the Spirit. I believe this book will bring many together with a common vision for the vital role of spiritual gifts in evangelization. My deepest gratitude to both authors for breaking down barriers to unity so that the world may believe that the Father has sent the Son to save us.

This is an exceedingly important book, Randy Clark and Mary Healy show that the gifts of the Spirit have always ben available to followers of Jesus, and we can experience them powerfully today. If you’re going to read one book on gifts of the Spirit, I recommend this one.
