About this title

Synopsis

How does God fit into our decisions and life choices? How do we discern what God wants us to do and what is truly right for us in our lives? “Discernment” is the process of realizing, and then following, our spiritual paths. Rose Mary Dougherty’s new book explains the essentials of cultivating a discerning heart. Drawing on the teachings of Christianity, other spiritual traditions, and her own life experiences, the author guides readers across the sometimes difficult terrain of spiritual discernment and invites them to explore their own experiences, reminding them that opportunities for discernment are embedded in all of life and that ultimately discernment is a way of life in and of itself. This valuable little book provides a wealth of practical and inspirational wisdom that will guide all spiritual seekers in their lifetime journey of awakening. †
