The Book That Started a Million Enneagram Journeys
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.
To guide your first steps into your self-awareness journey, The Road Back to You offers:

I studied this book! It was crazy to read each section that mirrored people I know. It changed the way I talk to people around me because this book taught me why people do the things they do. God created each of us and this book helped me find my gift from God and learn what I can't change on my own. I highly recommend this book to learn about yourself and hopefully others too.

A friend recommended this to me, and it was the perfect introduction to the enneagram. I had been reading a lot online about my types and all the others, but this is very helpful in learning which number you truly are. Ian Morgan Cron uses a lot of personal stories and theology to give better explanations of each number. I really recommend this as a first-introduction to aspiring enneagram fanatics!

I laughed out loud and thoroughly enjoyed this book. It had some new info I hadn't read on the E-gram, and I came away with a better understanding of "wings". I love the E-gram and can get bogged down learning about all 9...this book was engaging with so much humor, balanced strength/challenge of each number, and just the right amount of scholarship. Thanks!!

This book is extremely well written. The author has a gift for making it entertaining and very spiritually sound. I had a choice to begin my journey through the study of the enneagram among several books and will never regret having chosen this one. I will be happy to read it over again.
