As much as we might wish for a magic crystal ball to give us answers, discernment is not a trick performed by a toy. There is no secret shortcut to knowing which job to take, house to buy, or relationship to pursue. The good news is that we do not have to make these decisions alone. As people of faith we know that every aspect of our lives is important to the God who created us for a life of purpose. In this inspiring and practical workbook, readers are introduced to some of the tools and practices that help us invite God into our decision making process, help us create prayerfully considered choices, and live with the confidence that God will use our choices to invite us into deeper and more fruitful relationship. The discernment process encourages people to fill the hunger in their lives for a deeper connection with the spiritual through a way of being and living that satisfies the hunger.
