“If you’re searching for guidance in understanding your spiritual gifts and how to use them, this book is a must! Written by a veteran missionary, church-planter, and pastor, this carefully detailed roadmap guides you through a journey of discovery that is biblically based, theologically sound, and full of practical insights and usable tools. Never have I read a guide on the gifts of grace that so intricately weaves together the elements of personality, reality, interests, zeal, and ministry (PRIZM). David Rogers has used his own giftedness in giving us this invaluable resource, and he has done so as a shining example of faith, love, and humility. Yet, in so doing, he’s not afraid to grapple with the hard or controversial issues that surround this topic! Even in those pages, you’ll find his research, biblical insights, and clarity of thought to be compelling clarions to your mind and soul.”

“I needed this book to be written! The P.R.I.Z.M. concept just makes sense to me. It blends spiritual giftedness with natural abilities and passions. I have done tons of these kinds of assessments, all were helpful in raising self-awareness, but I find this book helpful in giving me the BIG PICTURE at one unified shot. It is like a “Leatherman” multitool in my toolbox. Usually, you have to use one book for one tool, and another, and another to get all the tools you need for personal learning or presenting these concepts in a holistic manner that resonates with a group.”

“You will be hard pressed to find a better guide through the maze of NT spiritual gifts. David Rogers has developed a logical and theologically sound framework for assisting believers in the God-ordained ministry of serving in the church. He systematically exposes dangerous thinking and practices related to spiritual gifts, and brings clarity to the many facets of doctrine to which they are connected. His work is practical and plain, biblical and compelling. He builds his case upon carefully exposited Bible texts.
Rogers writes from a well of deep experience with many first-hand observations of practical success in his treatise. His concluding gifts discovery tool is the product of a lifetime of study and practical observation. This strategic tool may be used to assist churches and believers to discover their gifts for the advancement of the church and the glory of God.”

“Dave Rogers has written a compelling book on Spiritual gifts. His research and citations are excellent. This book should be suggested reading for both mature and casual Christians alike. It certainly opened my eyes to things I hadn’t seen or considered. And if it did for me it will for others. He did a nice job differentiating Prophecy from the Old Testament vs the New. The same with the speaking gifts and servicing gifts. Spiritual gifts using Prizm through God’s grace is must reading for any Christian seriously interested in his/her gift[s] that God has empowered them. This book tells you what spiritual gifts are and are Not. Answering the Prizm questions will help you think more clearly about your own gifts. It’s a guide to what God’s plan for your life is if you give Him access through His gifts.”

“David was my Pastor at Iglesia Bautista in Chile almost 35 years ago when I lived there and I can tell you that reading this book is like sitting down with hm face to face in a personal conversation. This book is a must read! What I love about this book is it’s relevant no matter where you are with your walk with Christ. Now I better understand my Spiritual Gift even as I enter my Golden Years, God can still use me and his gift He has given.”

“Rogers has expounded the classical cessationist view of the biblical spiritual gifts in understandable and practical terms. His clear explanations of each gift are helpful for those seeking to identify their unique function in the body of Christ. Furthermore, his P.R.I.Z.M. model recognizes that we are complex people and that there are various other factors which can contribute to the unique application of our gifts. This work can be a helpful guide both to limit our understanding of spiritual gifts and expand our ability to apply them.“
