Prisms
Identifying Gifts that Reveal God's Creative Spirit
by Joyce Madsen and Clair Woodbury

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. $14.95
