His scholarly contribution to the field of Christian pneumatology is evident in his publications, for example: Church Aflame and his contributions to The Spirit-filled Life Bible.[2] Another way in which his expertise is evident is his endorsements of publications oriented on the charismatic expression of Christianity.[3] Grizzle, furthermore, serves on the editorial board of Reconciliation, The Official Journal of the Pentecostal/Charismatic Churches of North America (PCCNA). In short, Grizzle earned a reputation as notable academic within the charismatic Christianity.
