Sacred Pathways reveals nine distinct spiritual temperaments--and their strengths; weaknesses; and tendencies--to help you improve your spiritual life and deepen your personal walk with God. It's time to strip away the frustration of a one-size-fits-all spirituality and discover a path of worship that frees you to be you. Experienced spiritual directors; pastors; and church leaders recognize that all of us engage with God differently; and it's about time we do too. In this updated and expanded edition of Sacred Pathways; Gary Thomas details nine spiritual temperaments and--like the Enneagram and other tools do with personality--encourages you to investigate the ways you most naturally express yourself in your relationship with God. He encourages you to dig into the traits; strengths; and pitfalls in your devotional approach so you can eliminate the barriers that keep you locked into rigid methods of worship and praise. Plus; as you begin to identify and understand your own temperament; you'll soon learn about the temperaments that aren’t necessarily "you" but that may help you understand the spiritual tendencies of friends; family; and others around you. Whatever temperament or blend of temperaments best describes you; rest assured it's not by accident. It's by the design of a Creator who knew what he was doing when he made you according to his own unique intentions. If your spiritual walk is not what you'd like it to be; you can change that; starting here. Sacred Pathways will show you the route you were made to travel; marked by growth and filled with the riches of a close walk with God.
