What's Your Decision?

What's Your Decision? is a spiritual approach to decision making based on the insights of St. Ignatius of Loyola. With the guidance of J. Michael Sparough, SJ, and Tim Hipskind, SJ - both of them experienced counselors and spiritual directors - readers will learn how to apply tried-and-true Ignatian ideas to the decision-making process. Along the way, the authors carefully but concisely address common questins such as How do I begin the process of making a decision? What's important and what's not when it comes tomaking choices? Do I trust my gut? What do I really want? Ultimately, we come to understand that a God decision always precedes a good decision- that is, inviting God into the decision-making process and knowing how to discern His will gives us the confidence and clarity necessary tomake good choices and tomove boldly forward in our decisions.

J. Michael Sparough, SJ, teaches spiritual direction at Loyola University Chicago and is the founder of Charis Ministries. Tim Hipskind, SJ, has been leading retreats and workshops on discernment since 1996 and also has worked extensively with young adults. Jim Manney is a senior editor at Loyola Press.
