Prisms
Identifying Gifts that Reveal God's Creative Spirit
by Joyce Madsen and Clair Woodbury
We cannot see light, but when you shine a beam of light through a prism invisible white light turns into a rainbow of colour. We cannot see God, though God's love is all around us. That love becomes visible to us when those around us exercise their God-given gifts. The qualities of leadership, planning communicating, caring, discernment, spirituality, mentoring, and artistic creativity - each is a gift that reveals the love of God. $11.95
