They begin their approach with an easy-to-overlook sentence in the book of Acts concerning the Jerusalem Council. Acts 15:28 records '...it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us....' The authors note from this beginning the guidance of God's Spirit and the use of human faculties of reason and perception.

Their book offers the practices of spiritual discernment with many encouraging examples that show spiritual discernment in the selection of leaders.
