In "The Discernment of Spirits" Fr. Gallagher, a talented teacher, retreat leader, and scholar, helps us understand the rules and how their insights are essential for our spiritual growth today. By integrating the rules and the experience of contemporary people, Gallagher shows the precision, clarity, and insight of Ignatius's rules, as well as the importance of his thought for spiritual life today. When we learn to read Ignatius correctly we discover in his remarkable words our own struggles, joys, & triumphs.
This book is for all who desire greater awareness of God's action in their daily spiritual lives, and is essential reading for retreat directors, spiritual directors, priests, and counselors.
