Sacred Pathways

Nine Ways to Connect with God

By: Gary Thomas

Narrated by: Gary Thomas

Sacred Pathways reveals nine distinct spiritual temperaments - and their strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies - to help you improve your spiritual life and deepen your personal walk with God.

It's time to strip away the frustration of a one-size-fits-all spirituality and discover a path of worship that frees you to be you. Experienced spiritual directors, pastors, and church leaders recognize that all of us engage with God differently, and it's about time we do too.

In this updated and expanded edition of Sacred Pathways, Gary Thomas details nine spiritual temperaments and - like the Enneagram and other tools do with personality - encourages you to investigate the ways you most naturally express yourself in your relationship with God. He encourages you to dig into the traits, strengths, and pitfalls in your devotional approach so you can eliminate the barriers that keep you locked into rigid methods of worship and praise.

Plus, as you begin to identify and understand your own temperament, you'll soon learn about the temperaments that aren't necessarily "you" but that may help you understand the spiritual tendencies of friends, family, and others around you.

Whatever temperament or blend of temperaments best describes you, rest assured it's not by accident. It's by the design of a Creator who knew what he was doing when he made you according to his own unique intentions. If your spiritual walk is not what you'd like it to be, you can change that, starting here. Sacred Pathways will show you the route you were made to travel, marked by growth and filled with the riches of a close walk with God.

A Sacred Pathways video Bible study is also available for group or individual use, sold separately.

Accompanying exercises and discussion questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

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

good content but really long.

I liked this but at time hard to follow. it gave me a different perspective overall. Found that in some areas it drags on then inject a good point.

Great writing

The content of this book is good food for thought about how people try to connect with God and the writing in this book is really good.

So great!

Flew through it because it was so easy to listen and relate to. I learned a lot. Looking forward to checking out even more references you spoke about.

Learning to Delight in God

Understanding personal pathways of loving God, others and myself! Easy to listen to and happy!

Just listening I could see without writing anything down, which temperaments I possess.

This is a great book! I believe that it will prove valuable to me throughout my life as I continue to learn my temperament[s] and embrace the ways I connect with GOD. It will also help me to be more open and not critical to other temperaments as I navigate through life with God's diverse people.

useful tool

the concept of this should help disciples of Jesus be better equipped to disciple others better.

Excellent discipleship book!

This book helped me to understand how people approach God. It is an invaluable resource for those who mentor.

Excellent!

Very well written and narrated! It was an eye opener and revealed areas in my life that need growth. Thank you!

Spiritual temperaments

Very good audiobook on the subject of the spiritual temperaments with which each can relate to God and feel closer to God

1 man's observations

The writing style seemed immature - similar to a college thesis. The author's vocal presentation came across as excitedly rushed.
