Jerry Knutson

This pamphlet presents – in a kind of how to format – methods for receiving individual spiritual guidance; testing the guidance using methods that give both reliable and ambiguous results; and implementing the guidance. The pamphlet concludes with suggestions on using spiritual disciplines to build a better relationship with a Higher Power. Discussion questions included.

This is a useful pamphlet on an important topic. Knutson acknowledges how difficult it can be to discern true guidance of the Spirit from the urges of ego, compulsion, expectations, or super-ego. Then he writes a how-to guide on spiritual discernment, with methods for seeking guidance and for testing it, and examples.
This is a practical guide; also see PHPs 404, 383, 305, and 264 for a broader, deeper, and still practical treatment of discernment.
