"Why do you hold back?" Enneagram Nines are often asked questions
like this by others who want to invite them to share their gifts.
Marlena Graves describes her own experience with deciding whether
to speak up: "I know what it's like to be run over and rendered
invisible. I don't want to do the same to others." Nines are easy
to be around because they seem to instinctively put others before
themselves. In these readings Marlena reflects on what it's like to
be a Nine with a spirit of honest self-assessment and a desire for
personal and spiritual growth. She draws wisdom from the deep wells
of both counseling and spirituality, using illustrations from
Scripture and life. She writes out of her personal context, drawing
on the lessons learned from her Puerto Rican Abuelita and from
growing up in poverty. But she also writes for all of us. Each
reading concludes with an opportunity for further engagement such
as a journaling prompt, reflection questions, a written prayer, or
a spiritual practice. Any of us can find aspects of ourselves in
any of the numbers. The Enneagram is a profound tool for empathy,
so whether or not you are a Nine, you will grow from your reading
about Nines and enhance your relationships across the Enneagram
spectrum.
Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Finalist In everything from
health care and politics to technology and economics, we are
experiencing feelings of loss, anger, and anxiety. In the
Enneagram's wisdom, our number determines how we respond. We
automatically move to another number when we're feeling stress and
to yet another when we're feeling secure. Such moves may help us
feel better temporarily but don't last. For those who want to dive
deeper into Enneagram wisdom, expert teacher Suzanne Stabile opens
the concept of three Centers of Intelligence: thinking, feeling,
and doing. When we learn to manage these centers, each for its
intended purpose, we open a path to reducing fear, improving
relationships, growing spiritually, and finding wholeness. Drawing
on the dynamic stability of the Enneagram, she explains each
number's preferred and repressed Center of Intelligence and its
role in helping us move toward internal balance. Using brief
focused chapters, this book provides what we need to deal with the
constant change and complexity of our world to achieve lasting
transformation in our lives.
"I am a number One on the Enneagram." Juanita Rasmus continues: "If
you are a One, you know the weight of the world we carry. If you
know a One, these readings will give you enhanced insight into our
world. Either way, bring your work boots-you will need them!"
Guided by her own life, including experiences with exhaustion and
depression, Juanita Rasmus draws from the deep wells of counseling
and spirituality to illuminate the journey of a One. She shares the
resources that have guided her to greater spiritual and emotional
health. Each of these forty daily reading concludes with a
journaling prompt, self-affirmation, or spiritual practice. Any of
us can find aspects of ourselves in any of the numbers. The
Enneagram is a profound tool for empathy, so whether or not you are
a One, you will grow from your reading about Ones and enhance your
relationships across the Enneagram spectrum.
"How are you feeling?" Christine Yi Suh says that this has always
been a hard question. She writes: "The more accurate question for a
Four may be, 'What aren't you feeling?' I can grab my prevailing
emotion and tell you how I'm doing from that emotion's point of
view (joy, elation, sadness, grief, confusion-you name it!). I live
and breathe a kaleidoscope of living, feeling, conflicting
emotions." Many times Fours are labeled "emotionally intense" or
"too much," but for a Four this is just how life is. This is why
Fours are ideal companions in the midst difficult times: the death
of a loved one, the birth of a baby, transitional seasons in
career, relational conflict, and so on. The Enneagram is a profound
tool for empathy, so whether or not you are a Four, you will grow
from your reading about Four and enhance your relationships across
the Enneagram spectrum. Each reading concludes with an opportunity
for further engagement such as a journaling prompt, reflection
questions, a written prayer, or a spiritual practice.
What is it like to be an Enneagram Seven? Adventurer, spiritual
leader, and artist Gideon Tsang tackles this question with the
signature style of a Seven. Intermixed with stories of travel and
making new friends in surprising places, is a commitment to honest
self-assessment. Gideon shares how his Enneagram journey has led to
personal and spiritual transformation in a series of readings that
will delight readers and enlighten readers who want to understand
the world of the Seven more fully. Each of the forty readings
concludes with an opportunity for further engagement such as a
journaling prompt, reflection questions, a written prayer, or a
spiritual practice. Any of us can find aspects of ourselves in any
of the numbers. The Enneagram is a profound tool for empathy, so
whether or not you are a Seven, you will grow from your reading
about Sevens and enhance your relationships across the Enneagram
spectrum.

Ignorance is bliss-except in self-awareness. What you don't know
about yourself can hurt you and your relationships-and even keep
you in the shallows with God. Do you want help figuring out who you
are and why you're stuck in the same ruts? The Enneagram is an
ancient personality typing system with an uncanny accuracy in
describing how human beings are wired, both positively and
negatively. In The Road Back to You Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne
Stabile forge a unique approach-a practical, comprehensive way of
accessing Enneagram wisdom and exploring its connections with
Christian spirituality for a deeper knowledge of ourselves,
compassion for others, and love for God. Witty and filled with
stories, this book allows you to peek inside each of the nine
Enneagram types, keeping you turning the pages long after you have
read the chapter about your own number. Not only will you learn
more about yourself, but you will also start to see the world
through other people's eyes, understanding how and why people
think, feel, and act the way they do. Beginning with changes you
can start making today, the wisdom of the Enneagram can help take
you further along into who you really are-leading you into places
of spiritual discovery you would never have found on your own, and
paving the way to the wiser, more compassionate person you want to
become.
What is it like to be an Enneagram Two? Pastor, lawyer, and
Enneagram speaker Hunter Mobley reflects on this question with a
mix of self-compassion and hunger for personal growth. Using the
metaphor of a welcoming Southern porch, he describes Twos this way:
"We have well-curated our reputations as people who can be counted
on. We're the people of 'yes!' But beyond our front porches and
living rooms is a diversity of unexpressed and unmet feelings and
needs. Tiredness, loneliness, grief, disappointment, and longing
live beside joy, gratitude, and hope in the kitchens, dens, and
bedrooms of our houses." These forty daily readings are an
opportunity to explore both the shadow and the light that radiates
from the front porches of our personality and deeper into the soul
that lays within. Each reading concludes with an opportunity for
further engagement such as a journaling prompt, reflection
questions, a written prayer, or a spiritual practice. Any of us can
find aspects of ourselves in any of the numbers. The Enneagram is a
profound tool for empathy, so whether or not you are a two, you
will grow from your reading about twos and enhance your
relationships across the Enneagram spectrum.
It's not just what you say, but how you say it. Good communicators
know this, but it's often easier said than done. Teachers, leaders,
and speakers are often left bewildered, wondering why the content
that was so carefully planned and delivered seems to fall flat with
the audience. The art of communication requires more than the
transfer of information; it both connects with and engages the
hearer. To communicate well, speakers must understand both their
audience and themselves. Speaking by the Numbers offers a strategy
that combines communication principles with Enneagram wisdom to
help leaders, pastors, and teachers understand how to convey
content in ways that both inspire and connect with their audiences.
Using the Enneagram wisdom of triads and stances, communicators can
learn insight into the ways that various Enneagram numbers receive
and process information. Sean Palmer draws from his extensive
experience as a public speaker to develop communication strategies
that lead to connection, transformation, and mobilization of
audiences. Providing real examples of speeches and messages he has
given, Palmer shows how he uses the Enneagram to craft a message
that connects with his audience. A healthy marriage of Enneagram
wisdom and communication skill can help us speak with clarity into
the heart of where people live, love, and experience life.
What is it like to be an Enneagram Eight? "Fosforito! The explosion
happened so quickly there was no stopping it. My mother called me
'tiny match' when she would see this fire exploding from me." This
is how Latina pastor, activist, and worship leader, Sandra Maria
Van Opstal, describes her experience as an Eight. There came a
point in her life when she saw how her fiery explosions were
undermining her leadership. A wise spiritual director helped her
discover how the Enneagram could reveal more about both her gifts
and her weaknesses. Sandra offers insight from her ethnic journey
alongside Enneagram wisdom. Each of these forty readings concludes
with an opportunity for further engagement such as a journaling
prompt, reflection questions, a written prayer, or a spiritual
practice. Any of us can find aspects of ourselves in any of the
numbers. The Enneagram is a profound tool for empathy, so whether
or not you are an Eight, you will grow from your reading about
Eights and enhance your relationships across the Enneagram
spectrum.
Over 100,000 Copies Sold Worldwide! IVP Readers' Choice Award Most
of us have no idea how others see or process their experiences. And
that can make relationships hard, whether with intimate partners,
with friends, or in our professional lives. Understanding the
motivations and dynamics of these different personality types can
be the key that unlocks sometimes mystifying behavior in others-and
in ourselves. This book from Suzanne Stabile on the nine Enneagram
types and how they behave and experience relationships will guide
readers into deeper insights about themselves, their types, and
others' personalities so that they can have healthier, more
life-giving relationships. No one is better equipped than Suzanne
Stabile, coauthor, with Ian Morgan Cron, of The Road Back to You,
to share the Enneagram's wisdom on how relationships work-or don't.
Why do Sixes seem so intimidated and put off by Eights, who only
wish the Sixes would stop mulling things over and take action? Why
do Fives seem so unavailable, even to their closest family and
friends, while Twos seem to feel everybody else's feelings but
their own and end up irritating people who don't want their help?
How in the world can Fours be so open and loving to you one day and
restrained and distant other times? The Enneagram not only answers
these questions but gives us a way out of our usual finger pointing
and judging of other people-and finding them wanting, perplexing,
or impossible. Suzanne's generous, sometimes humorous, and always
insightful approach reveals why all the types behave as they do.
This book offers help in fostering more loving, mature, and
compassionate relationships with everyone in our lives.

What is it like to be an Enneagram Three? Pastor Sean Palmer
reflects on this question in a spirit of honest self-assessment. He
draws wisdom from the deep wells of both counseling and
spirituality using illustrations from Scripture and life. Each of
the forty daily readings concludes with an opportunity for further

"The Enneagram teaches us that there are nine ways of being in the
world, and it highlights the nine habitual, predictable ways that
we get ourselves into trouble," writes Suzanne Stabile. "Without
hearing the stories of how challenging it has been for other
people, we end up thinking we are the only ones struggling." This
is why group discussion and shared experience around Enneagram
themes can be so helpful. Each of the six sessions in this
companion study guide to Suzanne Stabile's book Journey Toward
Wholeness includes the following: An overview of the session theme
Discussion questions An opportunity to journey deeper into the
session's theme Ideas for applying what we are learning between
sessions Bonus content in this volume includes insights from people
in each number space about how they are learning to bring up their
repressed center (doing, thinking, or feeling). The struggle isn't
the same for each of us, but we can journey toward spiritual and
emotional growth together.
