Mirror for the Soul: A Christian Guide to the Enneagram

"Alice Fryling's valuable insights from the Enneagram and Scripture invite us to experience God's grace more deeply through greater self-awareness and spiritual companionship. This book is a rich and unique contribution to Enneagram literature and to personal transformation."

"This is the Enneagram book I've been looking for. It's written from a depth of experience, a depth in Scripture, and with an eye for the formational possibilities of this ancient wisdom. Fryling serves as a seasoned spiritual director, guiding the reader into the rich growth in spiritual formation that the Enneagram offers."

"I've been waiting for this book! When I began studying the Enneagram ten years ago, Alice Fryling's insights set some key themes of my understanding of this enormously helpful tool in moving toward transformation to Christlikeness. Thank you!"

"The Enneagram points out where we are in need of grace; Christianity and Scripture point us in the direction where grace can be found. Alice Fryling's book is at the crossroads where the Enneagram and Christianity meet. She brings understanding and transformation together in a very readable and practical way."

"This will be a most helpful resource for all who are seeking deeper levels of transformation through the narrow gate of self-knowledge and self-examination. Having worked with the Enneagram as a tool for transformation for many years, I love everything about this book—the concise descriptions of the history and theory of the Enneagram, the penetrating commentary on the spaces themselves, and the wise and gentle encouragement for how you can move from the bondage of the false self to the freedom of living as your true self in Christ. The personal meditations, discussion questions, and guidance for utilizing the Enneagram in spiritual direction make this enormously beneficial for personal and ministry use."

"For many years, the Enneagram has helped many to understand their tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses. Now Alice Fryling has provided a very helpful guide for its use. I especially like the way she begins with an understandable explanation of the Enneagram and also matches personality types with Scripture meditations. I commend Mirror for the Soul to individuals seeking to understand how God has shaped them and to spiritual guides for their ministry with others."

"The Enneagram has both informed and matured my spiritual walk for more than twenty years now, and I am thrilled to see more Christians embracing its ancient wisdom. Whether you are new to the Enneagram or already a devotee, you will love Mirror for the Soul. It's as inspiring as it is insightful. Alice Fryling is a gifted guide. Take the journey with her, dig deep into its truth, and allow it to enhance your life. I loved this book and heartily recommend it."

"For many years, Alice has been a trustworthy guide for those who seek to love God and neighbor. Mirror for the Soul offers practical ways to engage with the Spirit for transformation through the tool of the Enneagram. We can't change what we aren't aware of. Mirror for the Soul can be both eye opening and healing. If you are hungry to grow in loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself, I commend this book to you. Its wisdom can reveal your default settings, hidden agendas, and besetting temptations, as well as the shimmering beauty of your soul. Breathe deep, lean hard; God's love holds."
