Beyond the Enneagram

An Invitation to Experience a More Centered Life with God

De: Marilyn Vancil

Narrado por: Lisa Larsen

Step into the transformative life God invites you to enjoy, using the wisdom of the Enneagram paired with fresh tools and insights.

“If you long to be free from the coping mechanisms that keep you stuck, this is the book for you!”—Amy Wicks, Enneagram life coach for female entrepreneurs

For more than thirty years, Marilyn Vancil has studied, written about, and taught the Enneagram. She knows full well how using this system of nine personality types in combination with deep scriptural truths can lead people to a life of freedom. Now Vancil offers a way to deeper wholeness beyond the classic Enneagram.

Vancil proposes an enhancement, called The Drawing, which includes the Enneagram’s wisdom “but also focuses inwardly toward the center space and extends beyond the existing circle. . . . As with other spirals and circles to illustrate the spiritual life, the primary movement of The Drawing is toward the middle space, our Spiritual Center, the transcendent way of knowing beyond the more commonly recognized Centers of the Gut, Heart, and Head used to categorize the Enneagram types.” The Drawing depicts the holy attraction of our spirits toward God’s spirit as our ultimate destiny.

Vancil presents these sacred shifts to lead us from debilitating self-orientation to God-centered living:

• from What I Am to Who I Am

• from Reactive to Responsive

• from Bondage to Freedom

• from Wounded to Whole

• from Shakable to Unshakable

• from Burdened to Rested

The wisdom and practical steps that Marilyn Vancil provides will lead you to places of profound spiritual discovery and help you chart a course toward the wiser, more spiritually attuned person you long to become.

This audiobook includes a bonus PDF that contains enneagram illustrations and the “Dead and Free from/Alive and Free to” table from the book.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Many tools offered in this book

I greatly enjoyed being offered many tools for spiritual transformation, with the Enneagram being a starting point, but definitely not an ending point. I love the focus on the Trinity, as being our aim and center of attention and life! This is a refreshing and needed perspective.

Dissatisfied

The author seemed to not like the enneagram and definitely had some weird views on the gospel. This is a book to skip.
