Are you a fan of the Enneagram? Would you like a little more Gospel focus in your marriage? If so, this book is for you. In two part format, Jeff and Beth McCloud both share their story and how their knowledge of the Enneagram impacted them as well as imparting wisdom helpful for marriages (and any other close relationship, really) via an intensive summary of each Enneagram type. Through this information you can dial into not only the things that make you tick but also the the things that are important to your spouse, all while keeping Christ in the center of everything. There is so much wisdom and helpful information within these pages!

I’ve seen/heard all the memes, Insta-accounts, podcasts, articles, and courses related to the Enneagram. I finally read one book about the Enneagram this year. I did take a free online test but uncertain of its accuracy. Like other similar assessments, I don’t think it will tell me anything new about myself that I didn’t already know but I think it helps me be mindful of my natural tendencies and how I will act and react in certain circumstances. I'm so glad there is now a resource that will help couples to strengthen their relationships using this information that gives a glimpse into what those natural tendencies are.

☕ So glad I got to pre-read this new title from @yourenneagramcoach (Beth McCord and her husband Jeff).

☕ This is a true Gospel-based/centered, birds-eye-view, Christ-pursuing view of the Enneagram and the way it can bless our lives and relationships.

☕ Beth and Jeff unpack their relationship as well as some of the interactions of their closest friends, to get to what is at the core of each type (fear, desire, weakness, and longing) in a concise way. They also help us to relate to each other. You can use the toolbox in the back to understand yourself better, and to understand your spouse, but also to understand your parents, your co-worker, your best friend. It's applicable across the board, and I really appreciate that section! Swipe right to see the beginning of an "understanding me" from the toolbox, and an "understanding them."

☕ This is a great reference book for any Enneagram aficionado or Enneagram beginner, or anyone along that continuum. It releases this Tuesday, October 1st, but a pre-order will get you some fantastic bonuses, so go check it out at your favorite book retailer.

This book was more helpful to me than Suzanne Stabile and Ian Morgan Cron’s books. I’m not discrediting them; their books helped me discover the enneagram and assess my type. 
But this books breaks it down in a simpler way. It’s not just for married people. I’d say this could be used for any relationship.

Loved everything about this book! Beth and Jeff’s easily relatable and conversational, but is full of wisdom and truth. It is going to be a game changer for many marriages that pick up this book and just for relating to others in general.

I liked information produced by the authors' website (yourenneagramcoach.com) but was disappointed by this book. The information about the enneagram is buried under stories from the authors' lives, and the writing included way too many parentheses, quotation marks, and words written in italics. I did not finish it. Goodreads rating: 2 stars (It was ok.)
