Your Spiritual Gifts Inventory: From Rediscovering Our Spiritual Gifts Book

This text may be one of the worst ministry texts I have ever read. Overall, the text struggles to bring a useful approach to congregational studies because Steinke is far to committed to his metaphor of congregations being like the human body and its health. Steinke spends an extremely large portion of the text drawing out his metaphor and explaining numerous components to human health. The fruit of the metaphor does not outweigh the cost, as Steinke wastes much of the readers time when he could have made his point in a very short text. If Stienke wouldn't use this metaphor, he could have turned this 116 page text into a 10 page article. Not worth the readers time.
