More DescriptionGifts for Today is an inductive Bible study of the gifts of the Spirit, with a special emphasis on the controversial or special gifts that God has given to the church. Of the 19 gifts mentioned in the NT, five or six had special functions during the foundation of the church, while the remaining gifts put into practice all that God has revealed to His church.
