God's Voice Within: The Ignatian Way to Discover God's Will
Learn to discern God’s will by developing your spiritual intuition.Many of us do not trust our own thoughts, feelings, and desires when it comes to discerning God’s will. Instead we look outside ourselves to determine what God wants from and for us. InGod’s Voice Within, spiritual director Mark E. Thibodeaux, SJ, shows us how to access our own spiritual intuition and helps us understand that the most trustworthy wisdom of all comes not from outside sources, but from God working through us.Catholic and Ignatian in content,God’s Voice Withinis intended for people who know that there is more to the spiritual life than they are currently experiencing and are ready to take the next step in their walk of faith.As Fr. Thibodeaux equips us to look inside ourselves to make effective discernment a daily and lifelong practice, he describes how the decisions we make in life are always undergirded by one of two spirits: the false spirit or the true spirit. He then explains how to recognize each of these spirits, how to respond to each one, and how to move from the process of discerning spirits to actually making decisions.Ultimately,God’s Voice Withinteaches us to discern what is at the root of our actions and emotions, which in turn allows us to respond to God’s promptings inside us rather than unconsciously reacting to life around us.
