The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment
Description
Written by a leading evangelical blogger, The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment is an uplifting, scripturally grounded work that explains the need for discernment, its challenges, and the steps that will cultivate it. Author Tim Challies does not do the discerning for readers; he simply shows them how to practically apply scriptural tools, principles, and wisdom so that their conclusions about everything — people, teachings, decisions, media, and organisations — will be consistent with God’s Word.
Other information
'Tim Challies is one of the finest young evangelical thinkers of our day. He combines keen insight with theological maturity and spiritual depth. The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment should help form the Christian character of a new generation of evangelicals. Indeed, we must hope so.'- R Albert Mohler Jr President, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
'Unfortunately, in our time, even among Christians, discernment is long in demand and short in supply. This is but one reason I'm so delighted to commend to you this book. Tim Challies reminds us that the Bible commands us to cultivate discernment, but he doesn't stop there. He tells us how, biblically.'
- Ligon Duncan, Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, Mississippi
'This book is simple, clear, well-written, accurate, and even insightful. I read it all. I liked it all. I will recommend it often.'
- Mark Dever, Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, DC

Customer Reviews
Excellent! Biblical and practical.
An excellent and thoroughly biblical study on the doctrine of Spiritual discernment.
The first half of this book takes an in depth look at the call and definition of discernment. Tim Challies lays out, very methodically and throughly, the evidence from Scripture for the necessity of this discipline within the Christian church.
The second half of the book is much more practical, dealing first with the dangers of misusing discernment, and then how to develop and practice it rightly. There is an excellent -and extremely practical- step by step case study that gives you a clear idea of how to exercise discernment biblically.
There is also a helpful list of materials for further reading on the subject, and a study guide to help you work through the book.
I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting a book with a sound biblical perspective on discernment.
