God never intended that your personality be a handicap but an endowment. He has entrusted you with your own special talents and characteristics. When you recognize these gifts and offer them back to Him you will find your true identity in a relationship with Jesus Christ. The author, an ordained minister, analyzes various personality types with actual case studies from scripture. He also offers biblically based guidelines to managing vulnerabilities and affirming strengths, all with the goal of spiritual growth.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great insights on spiritual life,
By A Customer
This review is from: Your Personality and the Spiritual Life (Paperback)
Reg Johnson uses the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator as a window into the life of the soul. His explanation of the personality types illustrates the need for each of us to approach God as He has made us, using the unique gifts inherent in our personalities. A great guide to life with God.

Understand personality and spiritual style,
By
This review is from: Your Personality and the Spiritual Life (Paperback)
Using the Myers-Briggs types indicator, Johnson seeks to help you understand the gifts and mission potentials that fit within your personality type. Partly unstated are other important general themes. One is that there are different personality types and these are neither good nor bad (but each type has positive and negative tendencies). While he is hoping to help each type understand its gifts and potentials, reading about all the types can help you understand others and how the mix of different gifts in a church or other organization can work together. The prose is clear and understandable. He includes a guide for beginning to understand your type if you have never taken the profile test before.

Great tool for understanding yourself and others,
By
This review is from: Your Personality and the Spiritual Life (Paperback)
I read this book a few years ago in a Sunday school class and just resently introduced it to another Sunday school class. I have learned so much about myself and others in my life through this book. This book is strongly tied to the bible and does not offer itself as an excuse for any weakness one might have. It offers advise in growing beyond weaknesses. I strongly recommend this book for personal or class use.
