An amazing study and very well put together. Thank you!!! After finishing this book/study I now do not feel like something is wrong with me when people share what gifts of service they are involved in or I am asked to serve in which I do not feel in the least way moved to perform. I love that I now know more clearly what my top five gifts of service, as well as what the bottom three I don't have any desire to do areas of service are, and that it is okay. What a gift of sanity this book provides. So many of our church members participated in this study over advent in many small groups. How comforting to have a clearer understanding of our strengths and pitfalls. The only thing I would change about the study is the wording in many of the 85 assessment questions. My husband didn't grow up going to church and is a mechanical engineer, which made it difficult to get him to answer the questions and I had to reword 75% of them so he would answer them.
