"The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment is a truly important work-one that should be required reading not only for church leaders, but for all sober-minded laypeople as well."

"The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment" Blog Tour (Day 10)

Today is the second to last day of the blog tour for my new book The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment. For the past two weeks I’ve been answering questions that have been asked by a variety of bloggers. Though something neither I nor Crossway had tried before, this blog tour has been fun, I think, and I’ve been pleased to receive quite a lot of positive feedback. Today the tour moves to Church Matters, the blog of 9Marks Ministries. They asked the following two questions: Tim, from your perspective as a layperson, what steps would you like to see more pastors taking to grow in discernment? And, Are there specific areas of church life and pastoring in which you find yourself wishing pastors would exercise greater discernment?

Tim, I just wanted you to know that I am so grateful that the Lord has led you to write this book. I personally believe it is a must-read and must-have for every Christian. I have never dog-eared so many pages in one book!! It has become a stepping stone for my faith walk and growth in my relationship with Jesus, and it continually leads me back to His Word! Thank you.
