Who’s Speaking?
Discerning the Good Shepherd’s Voice from that of the Stranger
Christ the Good Shepherd said His own recognize His voice and flee from the voice of the stranger. How do we discern which is the right one? Culling counsels and lessons from the spiritual masters of Church Tradition, this book presents the various voices and their corresponding tell-tale signs so as to properly discern spirits. Learning to discover who is speaking will help the reader to be led to green pastures where the Good Shepherd has prepared an everlasting banquet.
