“Discernment, like prayer, is an art.
It is learned by doing, not just by reading about it.”
In Weeds Among the Wheat, the best-selling author, Thomas Green achieves an uncommon blend – a serious book for popular use, a popular book for serious reading. With wisdom and common sense he engages the topic of discernment and shows that it is a function of an individual's personal relationship with God. “It is where prayer meets action. The more deeply we know the Lord, the easier it will be to 'read his face' and sense what he desires us to do.” He draws on his experience as a spiritual director, on Scripture, and on his study of the writings of Ignatius of Loyola, to provide a clear understanding of the meaning (the what) and the art (the how) of Christian discernment.
