Enneagram Life - by Elisabeth Bennett (Paperback)

About the Book

Discover how your Enneagram type plays a role in all aspects of your life, from childhood through the golden years.

Book Synopsis

Enneagram Life is a one-of-a-kind resource on the Enneagram!

No matter what you know about the Enneagram and your type, you will discover something new, something deeper, within the pages of this book.

Enneagram Life: Personal, Relational, and Biblical Insights for All Seasons takes you on a journey of discovery that examines how your personality type affects all aspects of your life--from childhood to advanced adulthood.

Author Elisabeth Bennett proves that rather than being "too sacred for mere mortals" or "just another personality quiz," the Enneagram is a useful tool for understanding why people respond in different ways to life's triumphs and tragedies.

Elisabeth gives you insights into your own life and the lives of those around you, all from a biblical perspective. She explores the big questions of how personality and your everyday past, present, and future intersect and are answered within the wisdom of how God formed you.

"The Enneagram stereotypes can feel limiting," Elisabeth explains. "I wanted to give a much broader look at what personality is, how it changes, and the different facets that impact it at different stages."

Review Quotes

Enneagram Life by Elisabeth Bennett is a book that all students and teachers of the Enneagram should have readily available. The lovely and effective metaphor of the seasons of life lends itself perfectly to gaining new insight into the Enneagram as a tool for growth and grace. Rather than stereotyping each Enneagram type and keeping things on the surface, Elisabeth takes a deeper dive into how our types form, respond, and can grow throughout the various stages of life. I found the spring (childhood) chapters particularly revealing and helpful in my own life and in my work as an Enneagram coach. The personal voice and shared experiences make this resource a quick and engaging read, but you had better have a highlighter in hand as you will want to go back again and again to the insights contained in this book.--Stacy DeVries "Fresh Tracks Enneagram Coaching"

Applicable to all relationships in each season of life, this comprehensive and practical Enneagram guide is one-of-a-kind and a resource you need! Elisabeth's Enneagram knowledge and ability to offer it to readers in relatable and understandable ways makes it a tool for transformation and a source of enrichment for relationships.--Meredith W. Boggs "The Other Half Blog and Podcast"

Elisabeth has laid out a path that has signposts along the way to explain the Enneagram clearly, but she also gives space and breathing room to allow yourself to get lost in the scenery as you discover more about who you are. Seasons of life are such a beautiful and unique picture of what the Enneagram is and can be in the life of someone seeking to know themselves and how they relate to God on a more personal level. I found as I read through these pages that even after years of learning and teaching about the Enneagram in my own way, I was discovering new things about myself in relation to the childhood, adolescence, and adulthood seasons that I've already lived through.--Kim Eddy "Author, The Enneagram for Beginners"

Elisabeth's teaching on the Enneagram is insightful and deep. Her focus never wavers from providing biblical insights to assist believers in personal, professional, and spiritual growth. This book gives readers the power to see their stage and season in ways they may have previously overlooked. Elisabeth invites us to look a little longer at the impact our personalities have on all aspects of life.--Molly Wilcox "Blogger, author, and coach"

To say that this book is comprehensive is an understatement. I am touched by the depth and breadth that Elisabeth has gone to not only make the Enneagram applicable to an individual's growth across all seasons of life, marriage, and parenting, but also to make each reader feel especially seen and loved.--Christa Hardin, MA "Host, Enneagram and Marriage"

When my husband Jeff and I first discovered the Enneagram, it wasn't easy finding books written from a Christian worldview. We understood how important gospel-centered Enneagram resources could be, and that inspired us to start our business, Your Enneagram Coach. Since then, we have had the honor and privilege of certifying thousands of Enneagram coaches in more than twenty-five countries. Jeff and I are thankful the Lord has provided more gospel-centered Enneagram coaches like Elisabeth Bennett. No matter what season of life you currently find yourself in, we know that you'll find lasting value in her book. We're praying that God will meet you on these pages, and you will recognize your inherent value as His beloved, uniquely created child.--Beth McCord "Author, More Than Your Number"
