Thought Provoking
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Malphurs wants those who minister to the body of Christ to realize that they can best fulfill their ministry by knowing themselves. This is done by discovering their God given design. Their divine design is made up of spiritual gifts, passion, natural gifts, temperament, leadership styles, and learning preferences. Once a person has an understanding of their divine design they can then develop a plan for ministry; a plan that will bring the maximum glory to God
More Malphurs' Magnificence!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
From the heading given above, I am obviously a Malphurs' fan. He consistently provides titles that are helpful for ministry, and this one is no exception. Here he brings together advice on vision, spiritual gifts, personality, leadership style and natural gifts into one integrated volume. Unlike many of his other books, this book focuses not on the church but on the individual. I recommend it for any Christian desiring greater insight as to how God desires to use him in ministry. This one is well-worth the price!

It's a great resource for gaining a knowledge of who you are in Christ, what your God-given talents and abilieties are, and how they come to play in the ministry God is calling you to. The book uses a very practical approach to discovering your ministry gifts and helps you to understand the development process, thus aiding in the laying of a proper foundation for your future ministry.The appendixes are packed with simple assessments, inventories, and indiciators which you can take to help discover and develop your divine design. A must read for those beginning in ministry or those who have been struggling with finding your proper place in ministry!
