Susan Merritt has done a fantastic job of expressing the complexity of the spiritual gift of discernment in The Gift of Seeing Angels and Demons. The book is worth buying just for the extensive Reading List, Bibliography and End Notes. I've known so many Christians with the gift of discernment and it's a tough gift! LOTS of spiritual warfare. This book is a much-needed resources for those who have, or work with people who have, this gift. You especially enjoy the 7 principles of spiritual warfare and how to determine your giftedness. Highly recommend. -Amazon Review
