God's Voice Within

The Ignatian Way to Discover God's Will

By: Mark E. Thibodeaux SJ, James Martin SJ Foreword

Narrated by: Jim Denison

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.

In God's Voice Within, spiritual director Mark E. Thibodeaux, SJ, shows us how to use Ignatian discernment to access our own spiritual intuition and understand that the most trustworthy wisdom of all comes not from outside sources, but from God working through us.

God's Voice Within is 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 by making effective discernment-specifically Ignatian discernment - a daily practice.

Ultimately, God's Voice Within teaches 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.

What a gift to anyone who seeks God’s way…

As I moved forward in this book I realized how valuable this way of making decisions is. I wish that someone had shared this process of making decisions with me as a teenager. As a parent I wish I had known these things to teach to my own children. As a grandmother, I hope to incorporate this means of making decisions into my life and to share it with anyone of any age who will listen.
This book is well written. The beginning chapters are foundational for moving through the following chapters. Very well organized.

Outstanding Framework for Discernment

Outstanding. An excellent framework, perhaps the only framework, for discerning our soul’s calling, that is, God’s calling, to us and for choosing and acting upon those callings. This is a work and method to keep close to hand, mind and heart.

Discernment of choices

This was very informative and I enjoyed it very much. The only thing that could make it better would have been if it was on Kindle too.

Excellent spiritual guide to making decisions

Very helpful guide to making decisions in a spiritual way and resting assured that you are following God's will.
Based on teachings of St ignatuis of Loyola.

Easy understanding

Life changing contemplative prayer explained. Prayer warriors required training. Learning the steps to discernment is a spiritual journey for all believers.
