Title: This book is more about service to the church than gifts.
Review: Hemphill elevates any person's work or service done for the church to the level of a ministry performed through his/her spiritual gift. A painter paints, a repair man fixes things, a janitor cleans not through spiritual giftedness but through ability, training, and profession. A person with the gift of service may use his abilities to assist the church, but this does not mean he has the gift of air conditioner repair, painting, or computer repair. Hemphill confuses individual service opportunities with spiritual giftedness. Hemphill does not discern between gifts and talents. Lost people may do the very same service for a church that Christians do , but they are not using spiritual gifts to do them, whether they charge the church or not. I find this book to be of little value to the Christian community.
