The Young Person's Field Guide to Spirits: Meditations on Spiritual Discernment

"Test the spirits." So goes the admonition in 1 John 4:1. How do we carry it out? What are these spirits? What is the test? The Young Person's Guide to Spirits Explores these questions, with chapters devoted to particular spirits. There is a chapter, for example, on "The Spirit of False Mercy." Another is "The Childlike Spirit," an essential component of the Christian life. Indeed, the "Young Person" of this inspiring guide's title is not just the teenage Christian, but any adult who has, as Jesus instructed, become like a child in order to enter the kingdom of heaven.
