Spiritual Warfare and The Discernment of Spirits

Dan Burke's book provides a clear, pastoral introduction to the Catholic doctrine and practice of spiritual warfare and discernment of spirits.

Drawing on Scripture, the writings of the mystics, and pastoral experience, it offers concrete rules to recognize consolations and desolations and to discern inspirations from God, self, or the enemy.

The book is practical in tone, designed for laypeople, priests, and those involved in deliverance and pastoral care.

It emphasizes daily prayer, sacramental life, and the ascetical practices necessary for interior freedom.

Burke aims to equip readers to fight the spiritual battles present in modern culture with humility and accuracy.
