Eighth Day of Creation
Discovering Your Gifts
by Elizabeth O’Connor
Summary
This book encourages Christians to search for and live out their spiritual gifts for the betterment of the world. We are to be co-creators with God. Our handiwork, relationships, and professions are to continue God’s work of love, according to the unique abilities and passions that we were given. It is a risky business to use our gifts, it is a risky business to move into creativity and away from conformity. But the world needs us to take the risk and live the life for which we were made.
