This review is from: The Path of Grace (Paperback)

Gloria White, a Georgia-based Christian counselor, offers a guide "to release, recovery and liberty" in this slim paperback volume. With gentleness and a compassionate heart, she navigates the reader through a study / discussion that freely utilizes Scripture verses to highlight the overall theme of grace. White relies heavily on the "Enneagram" model pioneered by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson to illustrate the idea that there is a "real" person within each one of us, and that this is the true person God intends us to be. The basic fear of your particular personality type, as well as unmet needs from childhood, etc., the book says, often get in the way of your being your "true" self.

A seminary graduate who also holds a master's degree in social work, White shares a lot of her own personal experiences to lend credence and weight to the concepts she focuses on. Her foundation for this book is Biblical (for instance, she uses as a central point the illustration of the "wilderness" experience of the children of Israel to parallel our own life trials), and her intention very much seems to be to lead the reader on a path toward freedom in Christ, through the usage of the practical tools and concepts she offers.
