Some of this is associated with the charismatic renewal, the onetruly global renewal movement I have witnessed in my own lifetime. Iam grateful for this emphasis on the unique giftedness of every personin the family of God for service in the church and the worldthrough the Spirit.My life work has been to seek in every way possible to liberate the"laity" (the whole people of God) by helping them understand thatministry is not something which "ministers" do exclusively, butinstead part of the genetic code of all of God's people. Understandingour spiritual gifts is a critical part of seeing how we are called to participatein ministry and therefore in God's global renewal work.0.21" H x 8.12" L x 5.56" W (0.18 lbs) 64 pages Publisher: InterVarsity Press
