Fr. Timothy Gallagher breaks down Ignatius' rules for discerning everyday living and "the larger picture" in lay man's terms, no pun intended. This is a must read for people who have oscillated between tough choices, seem stuck between a rock and hard place, need guidance and don't really want to listen to their idiot friends/relatives or want to listen to all of the above and the include the Man upstairs because He will have your innermost desires at the vanguard of His plan. He direc...more
This book is a really useful book on the development of our ability to manage and understand the ebb and flow of our spiritual life. Focusing on practices from Ignatian spirituality, it has significant depth while providing practical applications which some books lack.

If only I had read this book earlier....
This book was recommended to me by a Spanish priest (not a Jesuit) who thought that it would advance my spiritual development by leaps and bounds.

A guide to "the process by which we seek to distinguish between different kinds of spiritual stirrings in our hearts" (3). Very readable and extremely practical.
Although its not one of those books you cant put down it is the most important book I have read on spirituality.
Written by Fr. Timothy Gallagher, OMV, this is an excellent reference for anyone seeking to learn more of Ignatian discernment.
Very clear and usable introduction to the topic of discernment of spirits. I found it inspiring and useful.
I'm revisiting this one for the umpteenth time always good to refresh is so called.
Another "must have" for EVERY Catholic Christian
