"""""How can I determine which spiritual gifts I have?"""" Wrong question! Paul writes about the spiritual gifts in his letters as capacities of communities rather than individuals, and he never makes a definitive, definable list. The gifts are fluid and dynamic, refusing to be pinned down. """"How can we start to describe how the Spirit works through us?"""" is a much more useful question. This book helps you answer that question, and then applies principles about spiritual gifts to urban ministry. Cities present particular challenges to the teams who live and minister in them. Certain spiritual gifts are crucial to teams trying to love their neighbors, and their neighborhoods, as themselves."

Reviews for The Gifts for the City

"""What an encouragement to read a book that helps me understand why I've never connected with the available materials on spiritual gifts. In this winsome volume, Andy Singleterry, using what he calls the brainstorm frame rather than the usual list of gifts, looks at spiritual gifts in a new way meant for communities and not just for individuals. This short and accessible book gives us much to ponder regarding the role of spiritual gifts in our lives and ministries."" --Jude Tiersma Watson, senior associate professor of urban mission, Fuller Seminary ""Rather than a wooden and formulaic understanding of spiritual gifts, Andy Singleterry provides a lucid and flexible exploration of the gifts of the Spirit. From understanding cross-class partnerships to developing cross-cultural friendships, this book will serve those living and serving in marginalized communities that are seeking to identify and release spiritual gifting."" --Scott Bessenecker, director of global engagement and justice, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship"
