Review
"Father Gallagher has emerged as one of the foremost commentators on Ignatian spirituality in the United States." —Harvey D. Egan, SJ, professor, Boston College
"Fr. Tim Gallagher has quickly become one of the leading commentators on Ignatian discernment." —George Aschenbrenner, SJ
"What I most admire is what lies behind Gallagher's book—an extraordinary patience in gathering so many opposite examples . . . in part from his own experience . . . and in part from his reading." —Reverend Brian O'Leary, SJ, spiritual director and professor, Milltown Institute of Theology & Philosophy
Product Description
Every Chrstian has a Mission. What's Yours?
"Is it time to change jobs?" "Should I marry?"
"Am I called to religious life?"
Sooner or later, every thoughtful Christian asks such questions. For everyone ready to make the shift from "What do I want for my life?" to "what does God want for my life?" Fr. Gallagher offers this new book to help you make sense of your major life decisions.
Drawing from the timeless methods of Ignatius Loyola and richly illustrated with examples and stories, this book offers practical wisdom for aligning your will to God's will. Fr. Gallagher takes you through each step of the process, including opening your heart to whatever God wants; making use of silence, the Eucharist, Scripture, and spiritual direction; and finding clarity (and what to do when you lack clarity).
While this book focuses on the major decisions such as marriage and career and vocation choices, the insights gained here can be adapted to other significant life decisions as well. Fr. Gallagher's clear style makes this book an important resource for all who want to discover where God is leading them, as well as for spiritual directors, retreat directors, and counselors

Very helpful, April 21 2010

Ce commentaire est de: Discerning the Will of God: An Ignatian Guide to Christian Decision Making (Paperback)
Fr. Gallagher's book beautifully expresses the Ignatian concept of God being found in the midst of everyday life. He gives practical, simple steps for thinking through decisions in light of God's priorities rather than ours, and then applying what we know about our own gifts and inclinations. This is a perfect book to read if you're mulling a decision in your life or if you'd like to have a better framework for making them as you go forward.

Easy to read and apply, this is an outstanding step-by-step guide for discerning God's will in your life. Loaded with helpful examples from Fr. Gallagher's many years of spiritual direction and from the best writers on the topic. Will be considered a classic in the field. One of the best books I've read!

A Perfect Introduction/Refresher to Ignatian Discernment & Spirituality, Jun 4 2011
By peekrood - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Discerning the Will of God: An Ignatian Guide to Christian Decision Making (Paperback)
This is a life changing book. I have a fair bit of experience with Ignatian discernment (I've done two silent retreats based on his Spiritual Exercises) but this book helped me understand Ignatius' spirituality at a much deeper level. This book is a must read. He includes lots of various examples for the different modes of discernment. The reader is sure to find lots of examples that correspond to their own quest in some way.My one complaint is not really a complaint: it's a bit repetitive. He goes back through each story and pulls out lines from each to illustrate his points. At first I found it cumbersome but eventually found that it deepened my understanding. A challenging and wonderful book.
