How will you use your gifts?

Human Gifts is a book about the innate capacities that lie within each of us and how, through developing and sharing them, we can find personal meaning and fulfill our potential in the world.

Drawing on a lifetime of experience as a minister, teacher, administrator, counselor, and father, author James R. Hallam uses lessons from the bible, contemporary culture, and his own personal history to illuminate the nature of gifts ranging from love and compassion to generosity and legacy. While uplifting the wisdom of various world luminaries and the examples set by everyday people he has known, Hallam contends that the life and teachings of Jesus demonstrate most profoundly what it means to be a gift giver.

Human Gifts reminds Christian readers what it means to follow the Jesus way in practice. But its message is not limited to those of a particular religious affiliation. Hallam’s humanistic perspective and appeal to shared humanity hold something for any reader seeking a sense of purpose, a feeling of connection, and a promise of hope in uncertain times.
