We have gathered quite a collection of resources on Godspace, and this week we are highlighting a resource list on discernment. I have really enjoyed revisiting some of these books in the last few weeks and appreciate all who recommended books to add to the list. They are recommended by a diverse group of people and are from very diverse perspectives which I always think enriches and strengthens our faith. Some are about discernment for individuals, others about discernment in groups. If there are other suggestions of “must have” books on discernment, we would love to include your contributions. Just leave your suggestions in the comments.
