Synopsis

The nine gifts of the Spirit can be consolidated into three different categories. The reason that they can be consolidated into these categories, is because each of the gifts categorized, do something similar. The second of the three categories, are what we call the power gifts. The reason we call them the power gifts, is because each one of these gifts, do something. The gifts that fall into this category are; the gift of special faith, gifts of healings, and the working of miracles. This book looks at how each of these gifts operate.

About this title

Review

Reviewed by Darin Godby for Readers' Favorite
In his book The Power Gifts, author Michael E.B. Maher helps the reader to better understand the gifts of the Holy Spirit as recorded in scripture. He states there are nine gifts broken down into three different categories: Revelation gifts, Power gifts and Speaking gifts. He explains how each of these gifts is powerful and has their own purpose in displaying God's power in a tangible way. Each of these gifts is given through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. These aren't gifts that man would pick out, work up, or do on their own. According to Maher, these are gifts given by God to His child to use to glorify Him. The Holy Spirit is looking for a willing vessel to move through and share these gifts with. This isn't to puff up the individual to make them feel like they are something special, but rather to encourage and build up the body of Christ.

Maher gives solid evidence why a believer must be strong in their individual faith as well as their ministry faith. When an individual faith becomes weak, it is much easier to fall into temptation leading to sin. Great care is given in explaining each of the nine gifts, their purposes, and how each of them must be used within the body of Christ. There is a strong biblical reference given behind each gift, backing up the author's viewpoints with God's Word. This is a very encouraging book for those who are looking to deepen their walk with the Lord and be used in this Kingdom.
