All That’s Good: Recovering the Lost Art of Discernment
Hannah Anderson
Moody Publishers, 2018, 217 pages
Summary
Our lives are noisy and filled with too much information and too little wisdom. Many are doing their best in life just to survive. Anderson posits that God wants us to thrive in this chaotic world – to rediscover the beauty and goodness God established in the beginning. Her basic premise is that by learning the lost art of discernment, we can. She shows that discernment is more than simply avoiding bad things; discernment actually frees us to navigate the world with confidence and joy by teaching us how to recognize and choose good things. By learning discernment and developing a taste for “all that’s good,” we will encounter God in remarkable new ways.
