You have gifts! And you are a gift to the world around you. Because every human is fearfully and wonderfully made, each one of us has something to offer to the world. But we have not always identified or developed our gifts well, nor deployed them effectively. Don Everts explores the gifts God has given every person and what new research reveals about the difference those gifts can make for us, our churches, and our communities. Churches have unfortunately focused mostly on spiritual gifts and vocations within the church. But we don't always recognize the wide range of abilities, skills, and aptitudes that all of us have, whether civic, artistic, or entrepreneurial. We each have God-given gifts and are called by God to use them in our vocations in the world. Discover how our gifts are a blessing to others and pave the way for reconnecting with our surrounding communities.
Don Everts is the senior pastor of First and Calvary Presbyterian Church in Springfield, Missouri, and is a writer for Lutheran Hour Ministries and the Hopeful Neighborhood Project. Don has spent almost three decades helping people on college campuses and in the local church become good stewards of their God-given gifts. Along the way, his wife, Wendy, has been helping Don do the same. His many books include The Reluctant Witness, The Spiritually Vibrant Home, and The Hopeful Neighborhood, all of which feature original research from Barna and biblical insights for our everyday lives.
""I invite you to allow this conversation to stretch your understanding of what giftedness really isand what it means for your own life and community. I am so grateful for the ways it has stretched me."
-- Savannah Kimberlin, director of research solutions with the Barna Group, from the foreword"Discover Your Gifts is a must-read for anyone wanting to embrace their God-given gifts."
-- Erik Rees, author of S.H.A.P.E.: Finding and Fulfilling Your Unique Purpose for Life, cofounder of the Jessie Rees Foundation"I plan to deploy this resource in my New York City congregation. Why? Because it is grounded in a biblical anthropology, rooted in solid catechesis, supported by data-driven analysis, and presented in a friendly format. Striving, in the power of the Spirit, to connect with our multiethnic, multilingual neighborhood and world, we need help. Everts's work shows us how our giftedness points us to the ultimate gift of Jesus' saving work."
-- John Arthur Nunes, pastor and former president of Concordia College New YorkWhat would you like to know about this product? Please enter your name, your email and your question regarding the product in the fields below, and we'll answer you in the next 24-48 hours.
