About the Book

Discover a revolutionary and transformative approach to the Enneagram in this thoughtful, explorative guide to understanding all the remarkably unique ways you reflect the image of God . . . because you are more than your number.

Book Synopsis

Are you interested in the Enneagram, but want to explore your personality more fully than a single number result? Discover how the Enneagram can be paired with the power of the gospel in this revolutionary and transformative guide for Enneagram beginners and experts alike.

We are all made up of parts. Have you ever said, "Part of me wants to go to the party, but part of me wants to stay home"? We already speak in these terms without realizing it. More Than Your Number takes a deeper dive into the world of the Enneagram by moving past the quickly assigned and sometimes stereotypical Enneagram Types to consider and engage your unique, multidimensional personality. After discovering your Enneagram Internal Profile (EIP), you'll be able to not only name what has affected you your entire life, whether positively or negatively, but also understand and apply the truth of how God intends to redeem and use all of you--not just parts of you.

Through the EIP, Enneagram coaches Beth and Jeff McCord provide a simple, tested, personal strategy to understand and welcome these parts through God's grace, equipping you to better lead and shepherd your internal interests. Filled with charts, diagrams, and unique insights, you will:

• Explore the driving force behind your unhealthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
• Learn how to lead yourself out of unhealthy patterns and get real help
• Experience deeper understanding, confidence, and peace in your relationships with God, yourself, and others
• Discover why the Enneagram on its own is not enough and how the gospel changes everything

Discover your real identity in Christ, readjusting your internal world toward a healthier path for your unique personality type.
