If we are human, we wrestle with a wide variety of choices on a daily basis. But how do we know if we're making the right choices? How do we know if we've chosen freely? Have we taken into account all the facts and subtleties inherent in each choice? If we are Christian, we must incorporate those values and beliefs that serve as our moral compass and apply them to the decisions we make. In Discernment: The Art of Choosing Well, Pierre Wolff presents the method of decision making we need. "If we want to increase our chances of making fruitful choices for others and for ourselves, to manage our decisions with greater freedom, and to be faithful to our God," he notes, "we need to learn to discern." Uniting the time-tested teachings of Ignatian spirituality with years of personal experience working with individuals and groups, Wolff's book is a systematic, step-by-step guide to informed decision making that engages our God-given tools of intellect, heart, and will. It is a process that applies equally at both the individual, private level as well as within a group setting. Each chapter includes reflection questions to enable the reader to apply this method to the inevitable myriad decisions encountered every day. Updated and reintroduced, Discernment is a rich and rewarding Liguori classic, aiding our everyday pursuit of spiritual growth and inner freedom. Regardless of our religious affiliation, or lack thereof, Discernment serves as a practical guide for anyone seeking to make effective, productive decisions. Book jacket.
