Beyond the Enneagram: An Invitation to Experience a More Centered Life With God

Step into the transformative life God invites you to enjoy, using the wisdom of the Enneagram paired with fresh tools and insights.

For more than thirty years, Marilyn Vancil has studied, written about, and taught the Enneagram. She knows full well how using this system of nine personality types in combination with deep scriptural truths can lead people to a life of freedom. Now Vancil offers a way to deeper wholeness beyond the classic Enneagram.

Vancil proposes an enhancement, called The Drawing, which includes the Enneagram's wisdom "but also focuses inwardly toward the centre space and extends beyond the existing circle... . As with other spirals and circles to illustrate the spiritual life, the primary movement of The Drawing is toward the middle space, our Spiritual Centre, the transcendent way of knowing beyond the more commonly recognized Centres of the Gut, Heart, and Head used to categorize the Enneagram types."

The Drawing depicts the holy attraction of our spirits toward God's spirit as our ultimate destiny. Vancil presents these sacred shifts to lead us from debilitating self-orientation to God-centred living:

• from What I Am to Who I Am
• from Reactive to Responsive
• from Bondage to Freedom
• from Wounded to Whole
• from Shakable to Unshakable
• from Burdened to Rested

The wisdom and practical steps that Marilyn Vancil provides will lead you to places of profound spiritual discovery and help you chart a course toward the wiser, more spiritually attuned person you long to become.
