Get the Basics first
One of the best on-line Spiritual Gifts courses on the web is by Dr. Lindsey Garmon at http://www.theseeker.org/gifts while New Life offers a one page course at www.new-life.net.    

Maybe a full set of lessens is more than you need. Want some quick verses for reference about the Holy Spirit, what it is, and how we should put it’s power to work? A very handy starting point. This page lays out dozens of references. See it at www.njcnews.org/holyspir.htm. Or try this:, I don’t think I have ever seen a site with such a simple to understand interface as this one that deals with Bible Teaching on Spiritual Gifts. Very Nice! See what I mean at www.mintools.com/gifts.htm  

Then Look at yourself
There are a lot of spiritual Gifts assessments on the web. You can find a Spiritual Gifts discovery tool at CFC. www.cforc.com/sgifts.html. Calvary Rose Baptist Church in Roseville, MN has had lessons about Spiritual Gifts on the web since I can remember. If you need a quick outline as opposed to a full set of lessons, check out this page at http://calvaryrose.org/docs/gifts.html . A group called Team Ministry has an abbreviated version of the printed Spiritual Gifts analysis that I often use in my seminars on their web site: www.teamministry.com. Also, Ken and Dawn Ellis have a nice on-line spiritual gifts discovery tool at http://www.kodachrome.org/spiritgift/. Also we found another tool at the ELCA evangelism team site: www.elca.org/eteam/assessment.htm. Another church that has a good self-inventory of Spiritual Gifts is Saint Paul's at http://ns.htc.net/~shanks/stpaul/gifts1.htm. 

Spiritual Gifts Software
MaidinNZ software’s program Gift Maid provides a powerful and affordable software tool for Spiritual Gift Discovery. A shareware version of which can be downloaded at www.maidinnz.com/giftsdownload.htm .

Are the Gifts still with us?
This longish essay asks the question: "Have the gifts stopped being given?" Worth reading if you have ever asked the question. Heck, worth reading if you haven’t asked the question. www.spirithome.com/cessatio.html. While you are here, check out the entire Spirit Home Site - lots of thought-provoking reading here. Here's another point of view on the same subject - www.victorious.org/sprgifts.htm . 

Get The Holy Spirit into Business
 The Holy Spirit is generally associated with empowering people and churches, but here are two sites that focus on faith in business. If you are concerned with how to take your faith to work, this could be an invaluable place to begin your study. The Four Eleven Foundation’s site has an in depth-outline of how you might apply the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit, and your spiritual gifts, to business. Visit them at www.4-11.org . Another work and faith organization you might want to check out is Scruples. Scruples is an organization made up of folks in the Silicon Valley area, who have a strong Christian faith and think that our faith should apply as certainly to our work lives as much or more as an MBA. Lots of resources here at www.scruples.org .
