Spiritual Gifts Are for Today

A Biblical Case for the Continuing Work of the Spirit

by Craig S. Keener and Daniel Kolenda

5.0 out of 5 on Amazon

What readers in the field say

There is a long history of Christians wondering if miracles are to continue. In this book we have a full disclosure of the reality that God has continued to work marvelous deeds. Accompanying that history is a dismantling of the arguments for cessationism. This book will be a gold mine for class discussions and pastoral care.
Scot McKnight, Houston Theological Seminary

Questions readers ask

Short answers about how buying and reading here works.

What is ZI² Books?

ZI² Books is a bookstore where presses sell their own books directly to readers. Each press runs its own imprint on the platform, sets its prices and is paid for every sale; print and ebook formats link to the press's store and to retailers.

What is a sealed ZI² edition?

A sealed edition is a book file encrypted for one buyer. It opens in any browser or in the ZI² reader app with the passphrase sent at purchase, carries a verifiable seal from the press, and stays yours to keep.

Who gets the money when I buy a book?

The press does. Payment goes to the publisher's own account at the time of purchase, less a flat platform fee, and the platform never holds a catalogue it does not pay for.

How do I read a book I bought?

Open the link in your receipt or sign in to your library. Sealed editions read in the browser on any device and in the ZI² reader app; where the press has published a sample, the first pages can be read before buying.

Can I buy the printed book?

Yes. Every book page lists the press's own store and other retailers for paperback, hardcover and ebook formats next to the sealed edition.

How does a press join?

A publisher starts an imprint in a few minutes from the Start an imprint link, uploads its titles, connects a Stripe account or chooses platform payouts, and is selling the same day.
