Spiritual Warfare DIscernment of Spirits

When we are besieged with stress, anxiety, fatigue, illness and depression, how can we fight Satan, our soul's enemy towards making spiritual progress?
Author Dan Burke presents in this powerful and concise book the venerable, time-tested wisdom of Catholic mystics to help you understand the influence of the Devil on your mind and heart, and the tactics you need to confront him.
With St. Ignatius as his guide, Burke gives the reader an indispensable, authoritative manual for engaging in daily battle with the Adversary—combat that is both inevitable and winnable.
Burke will help you recognize the ebbs and flows of consolation and desolation, and distinguish between the voices of God and of Satan. Best of all, you’ll come to see the spiritual life not as a science to be learned, but as an intuitive art to be practiced as you move with increasing success from habitual sin to sanctity.
The war for our souls is unavoidable. The saints became victorious by learning how to be spiritual warriors and by recognizing that we become stronger through battle and grow weaker from avoidance. With this book as your guide, you’ll grow in strength and contentment as you learn:
