The Discernment of Spirits: An Ignatian Guide for Everyday Living by Gallagher
4.0
In this book Fr Gallagher further expounds the fourteen rules of St. Ignatius of Loyola on the discernment of spirits. He uses real life examples to further drive home his points, which gives each rule a practical feel. Although a large part of the rule addresses spiritual desolation, spiritual consolation is also discussed. And indeed both go hand in hand like the crests and falls of an undulating wave. It helps the reader learn how to become aware of the movements within, understand what it means (spiritual or non-spiritual consolation/desolation) and to take appropriate action (accepting the spiritual consolation and rejecting the spiritual desolation).
In the final three rules (12-14), the tactics of the enemy is laid bare and the ways by which the enemy can be thwarted is provided. This book is a must read for every Christian who is striving and maturing in the love of Christ and on the pursuit of eternal glory. It is also a helpful guide in fulfilling the spiritual dictum: Know thyself!
