Synopsis :

Most Christians have a desire to find their spiritual gifts and to know what kind of life and mission that God is calling them to. This study allows an individuals and groups to begin to reflect on where their deep desire and the world’s deep need intersects.   This seven-week study helps individuals and small groups to explore spiritual gifts using selected passages from the Bible. Not an exhaustive study of spiritual gifts, the study takes a personal, reflective approach. In addition to completing a self-scored gifts inventory, participants will reflect on their interests, preferences, and talents.  As participants read and respond to scripture and participate in small-group sessions, they will be guided to consider prayerfully how God is calling them to use their gifts day by day.

À propos de l'auteur: Mary Lou Redding is interested in many disciplines -- art, literature, music, science, philosophy, religion, politics. She is a writer, a thinker, a feminist, a loving mother and grandmother, an outspoken and direct person. She loves to bake and cook, creating her own recipes. She designs and sews clothes, watches Star Trek in all its versions, roots for the Atlanta Braves, and plays word games at every opportunity. From hardy, hillbilly stock, Mary Lou is in the first generation of her family to be born outside Kentucky since her great- [x 20] grandfather George Gideon Ison came to Letcher County in the early 1700s. Her hillbilly heritage of fierce independence and hard work is sometimes evident in negative ways. She is one of seven children and has over 50 first cousins. Mary Lou's only child, an adult daughter, is the mother of her two nearly perfect granddaughters, Rosalie and Arianwyn. Spending time with them and with other younger members of her huge extended family brings Mary Lou great joy. Before becoming an editor and writer, Mary Lou taught basic and advanced prose writing and business communication on the college level. Teaching -- both writing and the Bible -- is one of her great loves. Mary Lou has a master of arts degree in rhetoric and writing and worked professionally as a writer and editor for many years, retiring as editorial director of The Upper Room magazine in 2012. Of all the writing and editing projects she has been part of, Mary Lou most treasures helping to create the Spiritual Formation Bible, published in 1999 by Zondervan and republished in 2007 by Upper Room Books as the Meeting God Bible. One of her major interests is the intersection of personality and spirituality, and she is certified to administer and interpret the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, a personality-preference inventory. Mary Lou completed the Academy for Spiritual Formation, an intensive, two-year experiential and academic program in Christian spirituality.
