The Social Discernment Cycle is particularly apt for any discernment that involves a structure, system, or institution.â �</p><p> This book helps groups work through this cycle to answer the question, â oeHow is God leading <i>us</i>, <i>individually or together</i>, to act in this particular moment in <i>our organization</i>?â �</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A wonderful combination of rich theological reflection and acute social analysis makes the social discernment cycle a tool for spirit guided action at both personal and community levels. I found particularly helpful the many practical examples and exercises that flow from the author's rich experiences of guiding individuals and groups in discernment." <br />--Peter J. Henriot, S.J., Director of Development, Loyola Jesuit Secondary School, Lilongwe, Malawi </p><br><br><p>"The analysis of spiritual discernment has largely focused on individuals. Yet most contemporary leaders must involve teams when wrestling with strategic decisions affecting complex systems. <i>The Soul of Discernment</i> is a lucid and spiritually mature correction to this deficiency. It provides wise guidelines to system level leaders wishing to integrate spiritual wisdom and grace with contemporary organizational decisions." <br />--Andre L. Delbecq, J. Thomas and Kathleen L. McCarthy University Professor, Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University </p><br>
