Everyone has gifts and talents, but do you know which gift is the foundation of your God-given purpose in life?



In this updated edition of 7 Spiritual Gifts (formerly published as Know Your Ministry), Marilyn Hickey explains the seven foundational gifts of the Holy Spirit―also known as the motivational gifts―found in Romans 12. These gifts include prophecy, serving, teaching, exhortation, giving, organization, and mercy. You will discover the one gift that you identify with most closely and through which you will obtain the most success. Once you recognize your core gift, you will see how it permeates all areas of your life.

Through this book, which includes a personal gifts evaluation survey, you can feel confident about your God-given calling; be encouraged and motivated in your area of service; live a satisfying life exercising your gifts; work together harmoniously with other believers; and realize your full potential.



You have an indispensable part in the fulfillment of God's plans, and your foundational gift enables you to carry out your unique role. Discover and enjoy that gift as you come to understand your purpose and destiny and effectively serve others in His name.
