"Enneagram for Beginners by Kim Eddy is unlike any other Enneagram book I have read. Being a believer and an Enneagram 4w5, I am constantly fighting the struggles to find alignment with Christ. This book is not just about the Enneagram but how to use it as a tool. I absolutely love Kim's stance, when she instills that we still need to lay it all at His feet. We are made in his beauty, but the Enneagram helps us live more in line with ourselves, truth, and our Savior, which is the ultimate goal. This book captures that and more!" -Audrey Bailey, founder of @brushandbarley and co-creator of the Enneagram & Art online course "The Enneagram for Beginners is a clear, accessible, and practical Christian guide for anyone new to the Enneagram. This book is compact, yet includes a breadth of insight not found in other Enneagram primers. I benefited from the relationship wisdom, potential blind spots, thoughtful reflection questions, gospel truths, and practical steps for spiritual growth. This is one of the best Enneagram primers out there written from a Biblical worldview, and I will keep coming back to it!" -Tyler Zach, author of the Gospel for Enneagram devotional series "The Enneagram for Beginners is more than a book. It's a journey of personal growth and a guide to discovering the person God created you to be. Kim Eddy paints a clear picture of the path to begin living a God-centered life that aligns with the true you. I was challenged, encouraged, and inspired by each page. If you want to better understand yourself and others, this book is a must read." -Jeff Cochran: writer, coach, and speaker; groups & missions pastor, Faith Promise Church; staff consultant, Ministry Architects
