All of us are unique. We seem to forget this obvious fact and tend to judge everyone else through the lense of our own temperament. With Acappella Ministries, we have used the Myers-Briggs personality profile system to help us discover more about ourselves and our team mates, which inevitably facilitates a better understanding in dealing with others.
Sacred Pathways is a masterful treatment of the nine spiritual temperaments and an enlightening guide to understanding our individual sacred journey. Gary Thomas addresses the nine sacred pathways:
- Naturalists: Loving God Out of Doors
- Sensates: Loving God with the Senses
- Traditionalists: Loving God Through Ritual and Symbol
- Ascetics: Loving God in Solitude and Simplicity
- Activists: Loving God Through Confrontation
- Caregivers: Loving God by Loving Others
- Enthusiasts: Loving God with Mystery and Celebration
- Contemplatives: Loving God Through Adoration
- Intellectuals: Loving God with the Mind
All of us have tendencies in more than one of these temperaments and this book provides a fascinating study to understand our own temperament, its strengths and weaknesses. This book is an excellent resource and is bound to enrich your spiritual pathway.
