How to Listen When God is Speaking:
How do we listen to God speak to our hearts, minds, and wills--especially above the noise and stress of the modern world? What is the process of discerning God's will? Best-selling author and popular EWTN host Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ, tackles these and other questions in this comprehensive book on discernment. He says that first we need to believe in God and his moral laws and make a commitment to please him in all that we do. Then we need to pray so that we can experience the peace that can come only from God.
Fr. Pacwa draws from St. Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises, using plenty of everyday examples as well as stories from Scripture to help clarify his points. He encourages readers to develop a rich prayer life and says we can learn to listen to God's powerful voice and hear him speaking lovingly to us even when we are suffering in some way. Confronts modern-day assumptions that can prevent us from being open to God's will for our lives.
Discerning the Will of God: An Ignatian Guide to Christian Decision Making:
Fr. Gallagher's indispensable guide will help you make spiritual sense of major decisions and align with God's true purpose for you. Real-life experiences bring home the benefit of Ignatius's ageless teachings and offer tools for finding clarity in a challenging and complex world. There are three important parts to this book: Preparation, Discernment, and Fruit.
Find God's will for you in the choices that life offers! Drawing from the timeless methods of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and richly illustrated with examples and stories, this book offers straightforward guidance for synchronizing your will with God's. Fr. Gallagher takes you through each step of the process, including opening your heart to whatever God wants; making use of silence, the Eucharist, Scripture, and spiritual direction; and finding clarity. Gallagher's insights can be adapted to any of life's decisions—from daily commitments to reconnect more deeply to faith to monumental choices like marriage and vocation. Imminently practical, this important resource will assist laypeople who want to discover where God is leading them, as well as spiritual directors, retreat directors, and counselors who can implement its wisdom in their work with others.
