This book is fantastic for those who struggle between serving God and earning a living. When we work within our giftings, we will be happiest. This will help you discover where your gifts can be best suited both in the church and in your career. It will help you align yourself with your giftings so that you can not only be a bigger blessing to the world, but focus on the gifts God gave you to enhance them and use them as He intended.

2: Very useful and helpful!
I took a couple spiritual gifts tests and did not find them benefitical because they did not use Bible verses very much. When my wife and I took tests together using this book (Discover Your God Given Gifts) - I find it very easy to read and identify 7 motivational gifts that helped us to identify our gifts to serve Lord at local church. Now I am using this book as a tool to teach others at my church.

3: Tremendous Teaching Tool
This book has all that you need to encourage any Christian that he or she IS gifted by God. The author not only describes each gift as outlined in Romans ch 12 but gives biblical examples of each gift. A tremendous resource.

5: Theologically accurate; Practically insightful; Fantastic for teaching; but Excessive in application
The best resource I've found for spiritual gift study so far.
The theological foundation is very sound, making good sense of the main passages on spiritual gifts in a way very few others do. Gifts are broken into 1) Manifestation (sign gifts - 1 Cor 12-14; Acts 2) 2) Ministry (equipping gifts - Eph 4) & 3) Motivational (every-Christian-gifts - Rom 12).
Written in a style anyone can use.
Inventories are great and surprisingly accurate for the limited number of questions used.
Warnings regarding misuse of spiritual gift impulses are very helpful (e.g. a "teaching" gift can incline a person to feel they are always right).
Application into the arena of employment is a bit excessive and beyond the scope of biblical applications for spiritual gifts. Better to do a Myers-Briggs or some other personality profile for that endeavor.
