The Enneagram for Beginners - by Kim Eddy (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"No other personality system offers the gift of revealing the fears and longings that help us cope in this uncertain world, encouraging each other and pointing one another to Jesus, each in our unique way." --from The Enneagram for Beginners

Recognized as a valuable tool for identifying recurring patterns of unhealthy behavior and the ways we try to earn God's favor, the Enneagram is used by churches, ministries, and families to grow more like Jesus and be closer to one another. While its wisdom is highly sought after, the Enneagram system can be complicated to navigate for first-time users. In this highly accessible spiritual guide, Certified Enneagram Coach Kim Eddy breaks down the essentials to help beginners discover their type and break free from fear and shame by knowing and experiencing the unconditional love, forgiveness and freedom in Christ.

The Enneagram for Beginners features:

Enneagram 101 that includes everything you need to know about the Enneagram, such as the triads, subtypes, wings, levels of health, ongoing struggles, and more

Easy and supportive steps to find your true type

Deep explorations into each of the nine personality types to understand the ways in which you experience the world and how you can find Jesus everyday

Type-focused scripture that reveals what God says about you

A special prayer for each type

This book is an essential tool for beginners who want to learn their type and find their own transformative path, all while keeping their faith and relationship with Jesus at the center.

Review Quotes

"Enneagram for Beginners by Kim Eddy is unlike any other Enneagram book I have read. Being a believer and an Enneagram 4w5, I am constantly fighting the struggles to find alignment with Christ. This book is not just about the Enneagram but how to use it as a tool. I absolutely love Kim's stance, when she instills that we still need to lay it all at His feet. We are made in his beauty, but the Enneagram helps us live more in line with ourselves, truth, and our Savior, which is the ultimate goal. This book captures that and more!" --Audrey Bailey, founder of @brushandbarley and co-creator of the Enneagram & Art online course

"The Enneagram for Beginners is a clear, accessible, and practical Christian guide for anyone new to the Enneagram. This book is compact, yet includes a breadth of insight not found in other Enneagram primers. I benefited from the relationship wisdom, potential blind spots, thoughtful reflection questions, gospel truths, and practical steps for spiritual growth. This is one of the best Enneagram primers out there written from a Biblical worldview, and I will keep coming back to it!" --Tyler Zach, author of the Gospel for Enneagram devotional series

"The Enneagram for Beginners is more than a book. It's a journey of personal growth and a guide to discovering the person God created you to be. Kim Eddy paints a clear picture of the path to begin living a God-centered life that aligns with the true you. I was challenged, encouraged, and inspired by each page. If you want to better understand yourself and others, this book is a must read." --Jeff Cochran: writer, coach, and speaker; groups & missions pastor, Faith Promise Church; staff consultant, Ministry Architects
