How to Listen When God Is Speaking: A Guide for Modern-Day Catholics

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. 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. Emphasizes the many ways we can develop our prayer life to nourish an authentic relationship with the Lord.
