Interesting read and I liked how they talked about particular experiences with people they knew and historical figures. The writing is a bit harder to read in spots, but there is gold in here. ( )

There was some very good and interesting stuff, but I found the writing style clunky, so it was a bit of a slog. I also thought the writers made some very serious claims that they didn't back up with any references (for example, claims about certain types being vulnerable to suicide), which concerned me. ( )

Very helpful explanations about the Enneagram personality system from a Christian perspective. It doesn't have the useful questionnaires that some of the other books do, but is still an interesting read. Particularly helpful to learn about how different types tend to prefer different styles of worship. ( )

This is a wonderful book that merges psychology and theology to provide a framework for the different schemas people have and explains that people don't all the view and interact with the world in the same way. The book helps to explain why certain people act the way they do, are motivated to do specific things, and why some people get along better than others. The entire theory is based around core sins/ virtues and what people need to do to become balanced and healthy. Having read a lot of psychology and theology, I really enjoyed the way this book was put together and the theory explained. ( )

Epigraph
I am afraid to drive the demons from my life, lest the angels also flee.
-- R. M. Rilke

And God showed me that sin will be no shame, but somehow honor for humanity....God's goodness makes the contrariness which is in us very profitable for us.
-- Blessed Julian of Norwich

The angels of darkness must disguise themselves as angels of light.
-- 2 Corinthians 11:14.

First words
The Enneagram is a very old typology that describes nine different characters. It shares with many other typologies the crude reduction of human behaviour to a limited number of character types.
