Tim Williams is a graduate of Regent University, where he earned his masters degree in Biblical Studies and studied the spiritual gifts under Dr. J. Rodman Williams (and his Holy Spirit course) and Dr. Owen Weston. It was while attending Regent that he received the inspiration to write a book on the spiritual gifts, and after graduating he wrote a course on the spiritual gifts for the Lord's Sentinel School of Theology (Pastor Juanita Folsom; Lake Placid, Florida). This book is an expanded work of this course and is currently being taught at the school. This work is the product of much study on the spiritual gifts and many years of experience under the ministry of these gifts with many different charismatic ministers as well as the author's personal ministry experience. Although this two part work is a comprehensive and indepth study, it is considered to be an excellent textbook for the study of the spiritual gifts for both lay people and ministers. The author later earned his masters degree in counseling from Palm Beach Atlantic University, and currently works as a clinical therapist. His ministry focus is teaching and one-on-one counseling that is Christ centered and Holy Spirit directed. He lives in Sebring, Florida.
