In an age when the term “discernment” is widely used – and just as widely misunderstood – how can we distinguish authentic Christian discipleship from the counterfeits of subjectivism, indecision, or even infidelity?

Dialogue on Discernment cuts through the confusion. Through provocative conversations between three priests, a sister, a seminarian, and a lay woman, the book tackles tough questions head-on. Using the troubling case of “Father Dean Blackbeard” as a catalyst, the dialogue contrasts the enduring wisdom of the saints with contemporary spiritual fads that can lead sincere souls astray.

This is a book for those unsatisfied with ambiguity and searching for clarity. It provides the tools to sharpen your spiritual perception, helping you to recognize God’s voice and choose wisely in a world of complex signals. For clergy, spiritual directors, and every serious Christian, this dialogue is an indispensable resource for navigating the challenges of faith in the modern world.
