The Dynamics of Spiritual Gifts

Many Christians have settled for far less than God intends because they have never discovered or developed their spiritual gifts. Exceedingly few believers are conscious of possessing a spiritual gift, and even fewer know what their gift is or what to do about it. An understanding of Ephesians 4:11-16 will change your entire perspective on Christian service.

William McRae received his B.A. degree from Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario and his Th.M. degree from Dallas Theological Seminary. He is president of Ontario Bible College and Ontario Theological Seminary.
