Review:

"Here you have a clear, biblical, right-minded, health-giving survey of a very tricky subject. Poythress's treatment is masterly." --J. I. Packer, Regent College

"Dr. Poythress employs his gifts of teaching and discernment to clarify what the Bible says about the gifts of the Spirit and to guard against doctrinal and practical error. He addresses the hard issues head on, using a simple but sophisticated framework to demonstrate the full variety of gifts and the wide breadth of the Spirit's work in the church." --Philip Graham Ryken, Wheaton College
