Last week we highlighted a list of books on discernment, so to continue the theme, this week we have a list focused on listening. How do we listen and what do we listen to? Back in 2016 we began to compile a list of books on listening based on suggestions from our Godspace contributors, and have revisited the list several times to update and expand it. The follow is a list our suggestions – from many different perspectives and understandings. If you have any suggestions of your own, please put them in the comments. Enjoy and make sure you listen well!
