Mirror for the Soul: A Christian Guide to the Enneagram

Short Review: I think this was the better of the two books I have read so far on the Enneagram. I am still a bit skeptical of it as a system, but I am a bit skeptical about all personality system. I do see some real value in spiritual direction and spiritual growth. And I think the focus on personality traits as something that both has value to the person and is part of the inherent weakness of the person is helpful. Our greatest strengths are often our greatest weaknesses and show us our need for others to help balance and show our need for others.

I think I know enough now to understand how the system works, but it will be a while before I am really conversant outside of my own type. I do think this is probably a book that is better in print than in audio, but the audio was fine. It is just that this type of content is given toward lists and charts and being able to flip back and forth would be helpful.
