Format:Paperback
Although geared toward Roman Catholics, Christians of all denominations can benefit from the book. In the back is even a short appendix to determine your own "Myers-Briggs" personality type. There is a lot of depth in this book. It would serve well as a fun "elective" book for a Bible study group -- everyone finds out their personality type, better understands what it means, and then better understands themselves spiritually in light of their type. The book also suggests what you can work on to develop yourself out of the constraints of your comfort zone. Worth buying.

Excellent description of the different Myers-Briggs Types. Excellent, easy to understand analysis of how different types relate differently to God.
Also gives ideas of additional books for better understanding of the different types and their relationship to God.

Insightful and Challenging
15 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
This book is very insightful , but not as fun a read as other books that merely help us to understand and appreciate temperament. Prayer and Temperament challenges us not only to accept ourselves and others, it challenges us to develop the areas that are less comfortable , to become less a caricature of our temperament and more fully human. I know several people who have found it particularly helpful for understanding and praying for family members, but it takes a more mature person to accept the challenge to die to self and to accept the fullness of life. I recommend not only reading it, but trying the suggestions for prayer.

An Insightful Journey
29 Oct 2001
Format:Paperback
If one considers that "prayer is a gift", then this book is the instruction manual on how to use this wonderful, blessed gift that God has bestowed to each of us! This book contains the ingredients for developing a rich, rewarding, and personal prayer-relationship with God. Beckoning the reader on a journey filled with discovery and enlightenment the book begins with a brief review of the history and the development of the theory of temperaments. The works and findings of Carl Jung, David Kiersey, Katherine Briggs, and Isabel Briggs are discussed relevant to personality temperaments and types. Departing from stereotypical and antiseptic views of personality types, the author weaves descriptions of Kiersey's four basic temperaments of human behavior with Christian spirituality and prayer. At the conclusion of the journey, the reader is equipped to begin a new journey; one of self-revelation, growth, and discovery, filled with wonder and respect for all whose various temperaments are woven into the canvas of our lives.
