Product Description

Much has been written on how God speaks to us as individuals, but the bookshelves are bare when it comes to helping leaders know how God speaks to and guides a ministry. The Dance of the Gifts seeks to help fill that gap. It enables your leadership to discern God's will for your ministry in a thoroughly biblical manner by developing a better understanding of how spiritual gifts work together. Discussion questions are provided at the end of each chapter, making The Dance of the Gifts a helpful resource for training ministry leaders.WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:“In The Dance of the Gifts, Mark Barnard and Ken Quick have provided a helpful way of seeing how the diversity of gifts in the body of Christ should and can enhance our unity as brothers and sisters in Christ. As the grace of the gospel enables us to remain humble, we are then able to hear and learn from one another as we speak from the perspective of our own gifting. This book is accessible, practical and biblical. After reading this book, it will change how you view other Christians and the gifts they each have been given for the common good.”Dr. Tim S LanePresident, Institute for Pastoral CareAuthor of Unstuck: A Nine-Step Journey to Change That Lasts and Living Without Worry: How to Replace Anxiety with Peace“Pastors and church leaders sometimes fail to consider how the Lord speaks through the giftedness of the members of the body. The Dance of the Gifts offers valuable insights into the importance and use of spiritual gifts in the church today.”Dr. C. Ray GentryAssociational Mission StrategistSouthside Baptist Network“I hadn’t gotten far in my reading of The Dance of the Gifts before the Spirit clearly brought to mind a church situation I was involved in and how the Fourth Foundational Principle could be used to bring vital insight. I wasn’t disappointed. The further I journeyed in the book the more helpful “tools” I discovered. May you enjoy the same.”Glen SchrieberSuperintendent, EFCA Southeast“Mark and Ken write a compelling book that reminds us that even the tensions and common challenges of church life often becomes a way that God brings out the various gifts of his people and uses them for his glory and purposes. I love the image portrayed in the book of leaders struggling to make decisions, wrestling even over the tension of points of views, but all are determined to not rest till God’s will becomes clear. When there is this kind of resonance and dance you discover the beautiful way God works through the diversity of gifts. Church leaders are not robots, but real people who face real and raw decisions, but who can celebrate in the end how this amazing, sovereign God really does do what he does through us. It brings Him more glory that way.” Mitch SchultzFounder, Fruitful Vine MinistriesAuthor of the Andre Michael Lansing series of novels“From many years of experience in assisting troubled churches Mark Barnard and Ken Quick have given the church world even more keys to making that which is wrong right. The Dance of the Gifts is itself a gift to the church and its leaders. I read the whole thing and said, "Ouch!" several times. Pastors and church leaders shouldn't just read The Dance of the Gifts they should study it together. After which, the book should be taught to their church so that the principles of it are embedded into their corporate culture.” Peter A JoudryCEO, The Nehemiah ProjectVisit our ministry site at blessingpoint.org
