Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning to argue and persuade in a highly competitive environment is only one aspect of life on a high-school debate team. Teenage debaters also participate in a distinct cultural world--complete with its own jargon and status system--in which they must negotiate complicated relationships with teammates, competitors, coaches, and parents as well as classmates outside the debating circuit. In Gifted Tongues, Gary Alan Fine offers a rich description of this world as a testing ground for both intellectual and emotional development, while seeking to understand adolescents as social actors. Considering the benefits and drawbacks of the debating experience, he also recommends ways of reshaping programs so that more high schools can use them to boost academic performance and foster specific skills in citizenship. Fine analyzes the training of debaters in rapid-fire speech, rules of logical argumentation, and the strategic use of evidence, and how this training instills the core values of such American institutions as law and politics. Debates, however, sometimes veer quickly from fine displays of logic to acts of immaturity--a reflection of the tensions experienced by young people learning to think as adults. Fine contributes to our understanding of teenage years by encouraging us not to view them as a distinct stage of development but rather a time in which young people draw from a toolkit of both childlike and adult behaviors. A well-designed debate program, he concludes, nurtures the intellect while providing a setting in which teens learn to make better behavioral choices, ones that will shape relationships in their personal, professional, and civic lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In considering this controversial theme, the author had a fivefold intent: To examine every passage in the New Testament dealing with the gift of tongues. To consider the significance of tongues in the Old Testament. The Apostle Paul indicated that God's purpose for the gift of tongues could be discovered in the Law (1 Corinthians 14:21-22). To study the gift of tongues from a dispensational point of view, in light of God's marvelous and yet distinctive programs for both Israel and the Church. To provide a definitive answer to the difficult question, When did tongues cease? To apply the rich truths of this study to the proper functioning and conduct of the local assembly of believers today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miraculous Gifts is a discussion of spiritual gifts in light of the basic differences between cessationalism and Pentecostalism. Many studies of this issue are written from a primarily theological perspective, and while theological arguments are valid, charismatics assert that this controversy concerns ÒbiblicalÓ gifts and miracles, and is therefore a matter of 'faith' to believe their claims, with theological arguments proving unsatisfactory. The fundamental question is, ÒIs this what the Bible discusses; is it biblical?Ó Miraculous Gifts attempts to answer that question by providing a biblically-based analysis of spiritual gifts in view of the charismatic controversy.

Book excerpt: Gifted is a response to St. Paul's admonition in the Book of Corinthians to set our hearts on spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. These factors are examined in the context of the spiritual gifts, friendship with Jesus, and prophetic summaries. Various life styles are examined. How are we living? How should we live? And how could we live starting now in God s Kingdom? Surprisingly, our life does not end with our earthly demise. Our eternal life can be up or down, in a vacuum, or surrounded by God's love. It is totally dependent on our acceptance or rejection of God's plan. To assist us in the progression from a secular life to a spiritual life, the numerous God-given gifts are examined. Also God's words spoken in modern prophecies are quoted. If you have ever wondered about God's thoughts besides those in scripture, his words will enlighten you. The overall evidence of God's love for us is shown throughout Gifted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are spiritual gifts? Storms has spent several decades teaching on the topic of the spiritual gifts and equipping believers in the faithful practice of God's gifts. Yet there remains a great deal of confusion about the nature of the gifts and how they best function in the body of Christ. In this comprehensive guide to the spiritual gifts, Storms addresses the many bizarre and misleading interpretations while confronting the tendency to downplay the urgency of spiritual gifts for Christian living and ministry. He explains how spiritual gifts--both the more miraculous and the everyday--are given to build up the body of Christ. God has graciously provided these "manifestations of the Spirit" so that believers might encourage, edify, strengthen, instruct, and console one another, all with a view to an ever-increasing, incremental transformation into the image of Jesus Christ. Throughout this guide, Sam Storms unpacks the glorious truth that there is a supernatural and divine energy or power that fills and indwells the body and soul of every Christian believer. Understanding Spiritual Gifts is useful as a reference to address common questions about the gifts, but it also serves as a training manual for using and exercising the gifts in ministry. It is perfect for any individual or group who wants to grow in their understanding of spiritual gifts for today.
